I have such high hopes for XForms. I’m working on a project right now for which they would have proven extremely useful, but after investigating existing XForms engines and what it would take to get rolling, I decided that the project deadlines precluded my using them. Pity, because they’re very cool and very useful. I feel this way even after slogging my way through the hype.

And now they’re a W3C recommendation. Along with this announcement, we are given the handy XForms for HTML Authors. Now I’ve just got to start getting those deadlines sorted out…
