James, > Have we reached the point where I can create XForms objects with DOM yet though. We haven't reached that point, in the sense that there is no DOM specification. But I think we have reached that point in terms of having a pretty good idea of what should go into that definition. I hope it will be separate spec though, following the example of DOM2 and DOM3, so it shouldn't impact 1.0 moving to a recommendation. A couple of versions from now, all of the COM objects that make up FormsPlayer will be available programmatically, so we'll obviously be offering one possible set of interfaces, and you will be able to do what you have described. But I'm sure there will be lots of heated debate on that, so it is bound to go through a lot of iterations! (Having said that, we may find that all of the current implementations have taken a similar approach, and so a set of interfaces could be designed and agreed upon pretty quickly.)
