How much of the answer to Device Independence is provided by XForms? True we don't have any identified flaws in the technology. But we also don't yet know to what extent this technology meets the needs of device independent authoring, as sought in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. More experience with multiple bindings of shared models will be required to understand this. As for guidelines, the XML Accessibility Guidelines are applicable. Time spent understanding them and trying to follow them will probably improve the results when applying the XForms technology. Warning: this is a no-status draft; but in my personal opinion it is worth investing some time in it if you are in a position to be preparing to apply XForms. <http://www.w3.org/TR/xag>http://www.w3.org/TR/xag Al
