There are of course also many script only implementations of X-Forms, there is very much no difference between Web Forms and XForms in such support, so the above statement is simply untrue, both XForms and WF2 have script and plugin solutions to legacy browser compatibility, except the XForms ones are considerably more advanced currently. > In fact, formsPlayer seems to add support for XForms in text/html > documents, which is obviously non-conformant, because text/html is not > XML! Even I can't actually say that, and I want to, and it's unfortunate, but XHTML 1.0 can be served as text/html, so therefore text/html can be XML, of course that's bad, but it's a fact of life. Jim.
