Sebastian, I apologize for responding to an old message, but I am just reading through previous posts. I agree with your comments vis-a-vis Microsoft, and would go one step further. I think Microsoft's 'new' architecture, .NET, with its two forms technologies (Windows Forms and Web Forms) is a clear indication that a single, comprehensive, standard forms technology is needed. I'm not sure if XForms fits the bill (I'm currently reading the spec), but I'm confident that a comprehensive forms technology would subsume .NET forms, JSP, PHP, etc. As you indicate, the 'form' is applicable to the UI (Browser, desktop, hand-held, etc.) and for program-to-program communication. A standard form technology like XForms has the ability to greatly simplify application development and costs. Gary
