personal opinion --you sound worse than a broken record -- things like XForms can stabilize and be interoperable only after people have had a chance to experiment with it in the real world to explore all the possibilities. Standardizing too many things too early can be just as bad as not standardizing at all. Jim> Well here are some screenshots from the last Jim> version.
