In fact if you go to http://www.w3.org/TR there are two submissions
there on e-forms, XFA and another one called XFDL. I haven't read
XFA and I don't know the first thing about e-forms (even though I
co-edited XFDL, it was just XML sanity-checking) so I don't have
an opinion as the trade-offs, but the submitters of both languages
have been in the e-forms trade for years, so presumably that
experience is requested in those submissions.
I haven't detected any real overwhelming momentum at W3C to launch
an ambitious e-forms standardization project, although I seem to
recall that some WG or other has the mandate to enrich & extend
HTML forms... -T.
