It is not clear how long before XForms is implemented in the mainstream browsers. Following its tradition with XSLT, Cocoon attempts to provide a solution for today's technology with a perspective to push complexity to the client when the time comes. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/concepts/xmlform.html I would be interested to hear what people think about Cocoon's choice to implement a server side subset of XForms.

  afaik, xmlforms is no longer supported in cocoon and has been replaced by jxforms:

  
  http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/flow/jxforms.html

  
  i don't know how that compares to xmlforms and xforms, but the issue of transition strategies certainly is an important one.

  
  since microsoft has released infopath, it is not very likely that they will support xforms with great enthusiam. and if xforms support is not going to be included in ie, then xforms has a serious problem.
