WHAT WG or XForms: what is it going to be?

Just read an interesting article on News.com, in which WHAT WG's Web Forms 2.0 is compared with W3C's XForms. A journalist from a Dutch IT newspaper called me today to ask for Backbase's opinion on this. In short, Backbase sees good things in both initiatives, but our approach is closer to XForms because of our focus on XML and declarative development (as opposed to scripting). The big difference is that Backbase Forms work in most modern browsers without plugins. I'll write a bit more about this later.

PS. also an interesting discussion on Slashdot
