I answered some of my own questions with research. SO let me restate the questions no the my understanding of open office xforms support has improved: They way I see it the basic functionalty we are talking about is being able to open XHTML + XFOrms Documents in O for editing and save an OO+Xforms doc as XHTML + XForms. It seems like OO already has much of the interface needed for positioing controls, binding to instance data, setting actions and events, etc. The one thing I did notice in this was that events seem to not seem to follow XForms , but instead tie into OO macros? I also notcied that these dont seem to tie into the names of events such as DomActivate, etc. This may make it easir for users not familiar with XForms and harder on those that are. XHTML is primarily used in conjunction with xforms to provide presentation to the form. In that apect most developers position controls either absolutely using div and span tags or using tables. What is the format OO uses to store information on how controls are laid out and what are some possible emthod to convert this to XHTML?
