Well, there are many benefits in adopting a more declarative approach to 
forms generation, with automatic validation based on schema definitions 
and so on. And of course, one way to implement XForms is to compile the 
high-level forms descriptions into low-level HTML/Javascript widgets.

But surely, that's not the point? Isn't it enough that there's a 
community of people who want to do XForms? Why should you, or anyone 
else, stand as gatekeeper and tell them they have to convince you first?
