AFAIK, the HTML working group will be working on Web Forms 2.0 so there probably more chance of it becoming a part of HTML5 (and actually being implemented into browsers). Seems illogical to me to have transitional technology to something that will be incompatible with the web (XForms). > + You talk about HTML 5. The former comment also applies here.

You are right, at this point HTML 5 has not been adopted. However, we expect it will be adopted in the next week or so. Given that HTML 5 is backwards compatible with HTML4.01 I don't see it as a big problem. Also, also I'm fairly sure XHTML5 will be backwards compatible with XHTML1.0 so no harm is done. > + Example 4 is something within the domain of a content adaptation tool > and not in the domain of XBL.

XBL is a real-time content adaptation tool. In fact, it's seems to me way more flexible and easier to use than something like XSLT. I think most developers would want content adaptation based on media queries or user input without having to defer processing to a content adaptation platform. > + I miss an example devoted to the extension of an existing UI > component.
