Not sure if this is old or new, but in the "Key Goals", what does "Suspend and Resume capabilities" mean? I am completely clueless here, and I have been working with and on XForms for years! Also, I keep being annoyed by the plural, e.g. "What Are XForms?". Do we *really* say "one XForm", "two XForms", "three XForms"? That has always sounded very odd and contrived to me. My point of view is that XForms is the name of a technology, and it is used a "the XForms technology...", so should be singular, as in "XForms is going to be more and more widespread.". (If you say "XML forms are..." or "XML-powered forms are..." or "XML- based forms are...", I have no problem at all.) What do people think? -Erik On Jun 5, 2008, at 12:55 AM, John Boyer wrote: > > Changed the dates on the roadmap. > > Also, the "Key Goals" text seemed a bit underpowered, so I made some > additions and changes. > > For examples, it didn't mention accessibility, dynamic access to > server data sources during form execution, nor the fact that > advanced form logic avoids round-tripping. > > Further improvements are welcome, of course. > > Steven, please update your copy of this document, so the changes > don't get lost. > > Thanks, > John M.
