Since somebody else has brought up XForms, I'd like to point out the following section (as discovered by Paul Prescod); http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms/slice4.html#evt-submit In particular, The HTTP "get" protocol is deprecated for use in form submission. Form authors should use "post" for greater compatibility. I don't have an issue with XForms not supporting GET (though once it's there, I wonder why you'd want to get rid of it), but I do have an issue if it's deprecating GET *and* claiming to be able to replace HTML forms; http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-forms/2002Jan/0092.html The thread in which this is still being discussed is; http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-forms/2002Jan/thread.html#81 FWIW, I don't think this requires TAG attention yet, but if any of the TAG members are looking at XForms anyhow ...
