What is an "XForms Processor"?

I guess this may seem the ultimate in dumb questions but I think the WD could 
be significantly clearer on this point.

Chapter 1.1 includes the following text: "a new platform-independent markup 
language for online interaction between an XForms Processor and a remote user 
agent"

The question arises from the conjuntion of the phrases "online" interaction 
and "remote" user agent in association with the term "XForms Processor".

I guess the question boils down to this - Must an XForms Processor be client 
side? If so, why the reference to "online" interaction with the "remote" user 
agent?

Also, for practical purposes, isn't the XForms processor part of the "user 
agent"?
