Transition Request for FPWD for "XForms for HTML"




This is a transition request for a first public working draft (and 
therefore for a shortname) for:

1. Document title, URIs, estimated publication date
                XForms for HTML
                http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms-for-html
                
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/specs/XForms1.2/XFormsForHTML/index-all.html

                As early as practicable (approximately 12 Dec 2008)

This is the document provisionally called "XForms Transitional" in the 
Forms WG Charter
http://www.w3.org/2007/03/forms-charter#deliverables

2. The document Abstract and Status sections, either by reference (e.g., 
the URI to the document) or direct inclusion.
(See below)

3. A statement whether or not the group considers the document to be a 
delta specification. This statement is only required for documents 
expected to become normative Recommendations under the W3C Patent Policy.

This is not a delta specification.

4. Evidence that the group has satisfied the transition requirements.
This is a FPWD.

5. Record of the decision to request the transition

Abstract

XForms for HTML provides a set of attributes and script methods that can 
be used by the tags or elements of an HTML or XHTML web page to simplify 
the integration of data-intensive interactive processing capabilities from 
 
XForms. The semantics of the attributes are mapped to the rich XForms 
model-view-controller-connector architecture, thereby allowing web 
application authors a smoother, selective migration path to the 
higher-order behaviors available from the full element markup available in 
 
modules of XForms.
