The Web's leading standards organization nudges forward XForms, a long-delayed specification for creating Web forms using XML. The Web's leading standards organization has nudged forward its specification for creating Web forms after a long delay in the standards process. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) on Friday published XForms 1.0 as a proposed recommendation. The technology, based on the digital document lingua franca Extensible Markup Language (XML), is a way of building online forms to be more flexible than current Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML)-based documents. The new standard can take advantage of other tools in the W3C's arsenal of recommendations and work with a wider variety of devices and applications.
