Re: FORMs and GET

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.
