That's certainly possible - although there are very real reasons why it might be a difficult pill to swallow for some ... However, I can also envisage a situation where there are even different XForms processors for the same browser, used for different situations. For example, someone may produce an XForms processor that plugs into IE in the way that John described, but that supports both voice and keyboard, specifically aimed at the partially sighted. Someone else may produce a plug-in - also for IE - but for a completely different purpose, with different features. Both may completely adhere to the XForms standard, but provide the user with different ways to interact with the underlying data.
