Hi Steven, The preamble is looking good, thanks for the changes. The one bullet point that is not like the others is "Structured, typed data is supported." It does not communicate the advantage(s) like the others do. I could recommend something that accentuates submissions and the direct bindings of UI controls and model item properties, like this: * Structured, typed data is supported. The hierarchical data structures that REST and web services produce and consume are directly consumed and produced by forms, preserving the data structure throughout an end-to-end solution. The form's controls and data model processing constructs bind directly to and operate directly on hierarchical data structures. Although XML is the principal format for this, other transmission formats like JSON and CSV are also supported. Maybe some further word swizzling could connect "end-to-end solution" with the compatibility of forms, via REST services, with various NoSQL storage solutions, like MongoDB or CouchDB. Either way, you may even then want to move this first. Best regards, John M.
