Not at all. We have a 'formsPlayer Ajax Edition' that implements all
of XForms, and does not rely on any plug-ins. The people over at
FormsFaces have done exactly the same thing. In other words, although
a plug-in or native browser implementation will be faster and can
support more features, it is not a requirement for XForms.

Regards,

Mark
