   Near as I can tell, they're saying that we should merge Web Forms 2.0
with XForms, break backwards compatibility with older versions of XForms
and serve it up with the "text/html" MIME type while forcing authors to
use XHTML. Best of all, they're suggesting it within hours of Ian
Hickson posting an email stating that he's going on a three week vacation.

   Then again, I can't be sure that's what they're saying, as the
message is rather incomprehensible.
