Again, I use it on the server-side to formalize and automate my mundane web development tasks. I appreciate the collaborative, diligent effort that went into the design and development of the spec. So, I choose to leverage that effort and contribute how I can for now. In working on my own processor (with only marginal support by my employer), I have learned much and improved my own skills. Now, I have a very nice proof-of-concept system that uses XML end-to-end and can enforce data integrity end-to-end using XML Schema. It presents an interesting alternative to both myself and my employer as the framework for our future development. Maybe it even provides a foundation of understanding and faith in order to contribute to an implementation in a major browser. FYI, the current SVG implementation in Mozilla was a contributed patch by one guy, Alexander Fritze, who extended Mozilla for his company's product: http://www.crocodile-clips.com/m2_1_14.htm. Why couldn't the same hold true for XForms in Mozilla?
