Thanks for pointing out this concern, and I sincerely apologize to the group for the inappropriate postings. I will keep further postings within the boundaries of tone and content that are more suitable. Mike, as to your question, I believe the answer is yes for both XFA and XFDL. Any parser that uses SAX/DOM can read, change, and write XFDL forms, but the ?additional? features that XFDL offers, such as digital signatures, formatting, computations, etc, will not be active using those standard parsers.

That is, unless the group or > yourselves feel strongly about continuing the dialogue on the list. This discussion, while quite interesting, is clearly inappropriate for this list - as Tim noted. But I do have a (hopefully) more relevant question. As someone who has only begun to look into both technologies/products, I have yet to determine whether each technology/product will allow me to interact with their forms using standard DOM/SAX methods. From what I've seen so far I'm concerned that this need to capture presentation aspects of a form might be leading to proprietary development within the underlying specs. I'm envisioning working with XML-based forms in the context of a larger XML-enabled process and I'd hate to get tied into a single product to support that requirement. Again, I haven't had a chance to go far enough yet. But feel free to enlighten me please. Thanks. Mike xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
