If this is true, I consider it a problem if there are things that HTML forms do that XForms do not. Even if we say that XForms are XML forms, it is sometimes the case that you simply cannot hard-code the target of the form. You don't necessarily know in advance. If I want to contribute to a Yahoo category then I might want to submit XML *to the category*. I may select the category through client-side widgets. Paul Prescod
