Hi Francisco,

Yes, to achieve that the XForms 1.0 author would need to explicitly code that 
in each form with suspend and resume capability.

In InfoPath you just do a File | Save. You can add pieces of data then save 
again. Then, when you are ready, you submit.

In InfoPath it's just nice and transparent to the user. I guess it is part of 
InfoPath's added value over XForms 1.0 for the time being.
