This is gross miscommunicatio. XForms depricates HTTP GET --depricates means we let you use it --but advise against it. So how did this ever get interpreted as "XForms doesn't support GET"? Looks like the classic "how many people does it take to change a light bulb on the Internet" thread. Mark Baker writes: > So are XForms expecting to replace HTML forms?
