uncle...I give up! after analyzing the current batch of XPATH/XSLT/XQUERY specs...I cant even bear the thought of reviewing, interpolating, or identifying the differences between XForms and Web Forms; thx for summing up the saliant points for us, over the past few articles. how I long to see an HTML 5.0 with modern form controls, or more likely XHTML 2.0 with an extended forms module, or perhaps we will just formulate any kind of form control in SVG. can I remind everyone its been 8 years since any significant development with forms; emerging support for XForms means that perhaps we will see the possibility of a richer web interface in my lifetime. no more specs please!

  "no more specs please!"

  
  You just don't hear that often. Spec/group refactoring is a good idea; and it will result in a smaller number of specs in the end.
