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.
