XForms can easily be split into two parts, the form purpose and the form presentation. The presentation side of the equation isn't tied to any particular vocabulary. You can bind a form to XForms widgets, XHTML widgets, WAP widgets, or a proprietary vocabulary. Obviously, the presentation vocabulary you choose is dependent on the client being able to render it. However, the pupose of the form does not change at all. If Xybrix doesn't support (X)HTML, then, people shouldn't expect it to render it. Same goes in the other direction. But this is be design.
