[In a sense this is a repeat of a post from April 2003. The XForms
player side seems to be healthy but XForms design tools are much less
visible - at least to me.]

What XForms design tools are presently available?

Looking at the list of Implementations yesterday the Holosofx (sp?)
XForm 
designer seemed to be interesting but, on the face of it at least, has
been 
swallowed into IBM.

LiquidOffice seems to have a design component.

What other XForms design tools are out there?

On list responses are obviously ideal since the whole XForms community

benefits by public sharing of knowledge. However, if your product is
under 
wraps and you can only share information under an NDA I would be happy
to 
hear of emerging interesting tools off list.

I assume the Holosofx designer will be part of WebSphere. Can anyone
confirm that?

Which tools are folks using to design XForms?

Are there any interesting betas out there?

Can I suggest that the Implementations section of the XForms page at
W3C, http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/#implementations, be updated and
split into viewers and design tools?
