The first "post last call" editor's draft of XForms 1.1 is now available from the Forms working group web page (http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/). The XForms 1.1 last call working draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-xforms11-20070222/) contained diff marks that illustrated differences between the working draft and the XForms 1.0 Second Edition Recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xforms-20060314/) . The largest task in preparing the post last call editors draft was to properly remove all the diff marks, which is how I found out that you now have 544 reasons to take a look at XForms 1.1. Another interesting statistic is that the XForms 1.1 specification print preview is 203 pages, which is 30% more content than XForms 1.0 Second Edition, excluding consideration of changes to existing content. Finally, note that XForms 1.0 Second Edition, which became a Recommendation in March 2006, contained 143 differences relative to the original XForms 1.0 from 2003. This includes 39 pages of errata and a content increase of 10 pages, or 7%. So if it's been a while for you, then perhaps there are nearly 700 reasons to take a look at XForms 1.1. John M.
