Sebastian, The idea of multiple levels of xforms compliance seems to suit the needs of the wide variety of clients and developers that are likely to benefit from this standard. In fact, it nicely answers many of the issues raised in the working draft regarding whether to support or not support certain features that would be "too expensive" for small devices. A more difficult question will be what constitutes the details of each level? So far, I like the outline you propose.

You may yourself choose and use any pre-existing or custom model language and any UI language as well as of course any arbitrary XML instance for data. XForms Basic: XForms Core + Concrete Model as W3C XML Schema Subset (Part 2 Datatypes) + XForms UI. XForms Full: XForms Core + Concrete Model as Full W3C XML Schema + XForms UI. Food for thought. Others on this list: Opinions? Thanks, - Sebastian
