Gerald, IMHO we don't need another spec. What we do need (and I agree with my interpretation of Robin Berjon's post here) is more implementations of existing standards that will free us from vendor lockin. Where is the browser that will render a mixed, XForms based XHTML++SVG+MathML document? Where is my XForms2XUL or XForms2XHTML converter? All I want to point out is that there is no need for more standards when we are so far behind on implementing the basics. Kindest regards, Manos PS: What's not free regarding Mozilla's XUL+XBL implementation? I would avoid putting Moz in the mini-vendor empire list.
