Cardiff is quite interested in paper processing, given our product line. Xerox also has some good ideas for paper processes. The general idea is that a piece of paper and a writing instrument (with suitable character recognition/scanning on the back end) is a lightweight user interface forms--one that most people have experience with! Some form controls (think submit button) don't make sense on paper, but by defining abstractions, most have a convenient analog on the printed page. It's also easy to imagine document reader software supporting XForms, including print, scan, etc. .micah -----Original Message----- From: [mailto:Aswad_Rehan@elixir.com] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2001 2:32 AM To: www-forms@w3.org Subject: How XForms can be used for Paper output. The following paragraph appears http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/ "XForms" is W3C's name for a specification of Web forms that can be used with a wide variety of platforms including desktop computers, hand helds, information appliances, and even paper. Part of the HTML Activity, XForms started life as a subgroup of the HTML Working Group, but has now been spun off as an independent Working Group. Can anbody shed some light that how it is intended for paper output.
