Thanks for posting the link. I've written up a story
for the XUL News Wire titled "Adobe Announces XDP (XML
Data Package)".
Here's my take on it:
I just stumbled over an Adobe press release that
outlines Adobe's new XML form strategy called XDP (XML
Data Package).
It looks like XDP is Adobe's name for a chrome-like
jar holding:
* XML form data
* XML form templates
* XML config information
* other XML information such as metadata, digital
signatures, schemas, etc.
* and hold your breath - base64 encoded PDF
documents.
Evidently, Adobe wants you to lock-in into their own
PDF format and Adobe Acrobat family.
Adobe seems to support W3C's XSL-FO, however, only
on the server to let you create - you guessed it - PDF
documents for Adobe Acrobat Reader.
