RE: Yahoo! introduces mobile XForms

does this mean anything developed in "Blueprint" can be rendered in a standard xForms plug-in or just that they have "borrowed xForms constructs" ?

Here is the Yahoo! page of interest for developers:

   http://us.beta.mobile.yahoo.com/developers

And here is one of the interesting bits from the doc:

"Mobile Widgets support forms that allow users to send information 
back to a server. The language is based on XForms, which is more 
versatile
than the HTML forms many developers are familiar with."

You go Yahoo! ;-)
