Hi Steven and Leigh,
Here is the info I have so far from Rusty:
Speaker: Elliotte Rusty Harold

Title: How XForms Can Win
Abstract:
XForms could transform web application development and usher in Web 3.0
or it could be a niche technology that flickers dimly and dies out in a
few years. Which will happen depends largely on the choices the XForms
community makes and the effort they put out. Without pulling punches and
while goring a few oxen, this talk will explain exactly what tough
choices are necessary to develop a bright future for XForms, XML, and
the Web.
Cheers,
