BTW, the WF2 implementation for IE, although unfinished, does work. It
implements all of the <input> types (except datetime), the <datalist>
element, the <output> element, validation and ValidityState objects,
multiple forms and the new events. The implementation looks and feels
exactly like a native Windows implementation. We even mimic the user's
current XP theme. Download it and try it. I would appreciate any
feedback either privately or on this list.

I know that Web Forms 2.0 is specifically designed so that most of it

that effort? I've found a few bits and pieces here and there via
Google such as https://sourceforge.net/projects/wf2/ but nothing seems
very finished. In fact, to my surprise, the JavaScript libraries for
XForms seem further along.
Am I missing any projects? Has anyone published a decent partial or
full implementation of Web Forms 2.0 as a JavaScript library yet?
I'm the owner of the sourceforge project you mentioned. That project was
to provide WF2 support for MSIE. Because Mozilla, Opera and Apple were
expected to provide native support we didn't bother to make the library
cross-platform.
There is a cross-browser implementation of the repetition model here:

The repetition model implementation was written by Weston Ruter.
