Hi Henri, > > d) XForms are meant to be used in markups other than just HTML > > XForms is meant to be used only in XML-based host languages--not in > HTML at all. I can see why those who aren't keen on XForms would like this to be true, but it isn't. Our XForms processor (formsPlayer) runs in Internet Explorer, and happily processes XForms that is placed inline in HTML mark-up. There is actually nothing about XForms that says it must be delivered in an XML-based language. Of course, you get lots of advantages if you use XML-based tools to develop your forms--essentially creating XHTML documents that contain XForms. But IE will cope just as well if you deliver the XForms embedded in a document that uses HTML mark-up.
