Mike I don't see why you're so pessimistic about it? I don't think that we'll see XForms implementations in browsers for some time so it's best to work with HTML forms for now. Sure there's some idiosyncrasies to it but it does work, so long as the user on the UA side sticks to regular ASCII text, and they can use entities to encode other characters. That said I can see that there would be difficulties using languages other than english. But you pointed out that there's server-side solutions to that.

"the client" being a web browser? That rather limits your options.


Is xForms the answer?

It is one of many possible answers that involve not using HTML's form
facilities and ordinary server-side mechanisms for processing HTML form data,
yes. Note that the implementations listed at http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/
use Java, Flash, plug-ins, separate clients and servers...
