Hi "At the time of publication, the Working Group is undecided as to whether or not the SVG specification should describe a default rendering and behavior for some form elements, such as buttons and sliders. We realise that creating widget sets is a deep topic and specifically request feedback on this matter. Would a simple set of form widgets be sufficient in most situations, or would authors prefer to always create the SVG rendering and behaviour for every element?" The default behavior should be a choice for the user agent. There are several advantages with this: * simplify the creation of forms for the author * make forms reusable over platforms and formats. * be easily regonizable for users. Users are used to using whatever the controls looks like on their platform. This should also be the default behavior with SVG. I think that SVG rendering and behavior should be an extension to XForms. XForms should be fully useful directly mixed with SVG without any extra work. With extra work you can change and extend the looks of the forms control. I belive this is best done using scripting since creating fully functional widgets with a declerative syntax will add much complexity to SVG. /niklas http://www.protocol7.com
