Hi, Kurt Cagle (of SVG - The Graphical Web Book fame) wrote up an article about XForms titled "The Secret Life of XForms" for devX.
Kurt writes: XForms recently reached the W3C's Candidate Recommendation status—and you need to know about it — because XForms isn't a form description language, it's a language for describing applications in a platform-independent way. Best of all, it integrates easily with technologies you already know, such as XHTML, XPath, SVG, and CSS. The devX article also includes a talkback sidebar that tries to draw you into the design.ui forum by asking: It seems as if XML-based languages for descibing forms and UI elements are proliferating. XUL, XAML, and XForms are three of these. What do you think of the future of these technologies? Wave of the future, or temporary sideline? Given that so much ink has been written advocating the separation of form and function (model/view/controller), does moving the UI description to XML constitute a better and cleaner separation than past attempts at addressing the problem? Do you think XForms will become the standard, or are XUL and XAML too far ahead in implementation?
