Progress on XForms 1.2 Function Extensions

Hi Erik,

I know that you have sent regrets for the first two calls of the year due 
to travel, but I got the sense it might be business travel and not 
vacation.

If so, may I asked if you could squeeze in a bit of time to make some 
updates to the future features wiki to reflect the working group decisions 
about adding function extensions to XForms 1.2.  Also, removing the 
entries for the "decimal-string" and "sumproduct" functions would be 
appropriate.

Thanks,

Re: Yahoo! introduces mobile XForms







Here is the Yahoo! page of interest for developers:

   http://us.beta.mobile.yahoo.com/developers

And here is one of the interesting bits from the doc:

"Mobile Widgets support forms that allow users to send information 
back to a server. The language is based on XForms, which is more 
versatile
than the HTML forms many developers are familiar with."

You go Yahoo! ;-)
