Re: Deploying (accessible) XForms today?

Raman,

I don't think that the fact that today's implementations do not meet 
accessibility requirements necessarily means they cannot. At least, I 
would like to see compelling arguments in that direction, and clearer 
technical details about exactly what is lost (and shouldn't be lost) by 
going from XForms to XHTML.

IE is not supporting XForms anytime soon, and Ajax is here to stay, 
which makes this is a very important topic.

I think ignorance of the requirements for accessibility is a more 
important reason why most Ajax-based web applications maybe lack in 
accessibility. We are unfortunately as guilty as anyone here.
