Hello, as a follow-up allow me to highlight the comments by Brendan Eich - Mozilla's Chief Architect - on the new IBM and Novell XForms initiative for Mozilla.
Brendan writes: XForms may be used in intranets, or required by a few "extranet-ish" government or industry sites -- but any sites blazing this trail are effectively requiring IE and a plugin such as formsplayer, right now. Mozilla supporting XForms or XHTML2 will not change the economics of the web, which favor backward compatibility and at most the kind of incremental, cross-browser evolution that the WHATWG is fomenting. So optional (one-click download-and-install, eventually) XForms support in Mozilla products will help us compete with IE+formsplayer in a few niches. Good news, but nothing revolutionary. Source: http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=5160 What's your take on it? Do you want to see W3C XForms support builtin or is a one-click download-and-install optional package good enough? Any thoughts? Any comments? - Gerald ------------------- Gerald Bauer XUL Alliance | http://xul.sourceforge.net United XAML | http://xaml.sourceforge.net Interested in hiring Gerald Bauer? Yes, I'm available.
