But it seems to me that the natural conclusion from this discussion is that some efforts should be made to support XForms, and when that's done, transform XForms into XUL, with fallback to HTML if needed, and if at that point the world has not yet discovered that they're not using the best tool for the job (very likely), it could be transformed to XAML or something.
Agreed. Imho the best path would be to 1) support XForms at the Perl level, 2) support selecting how to transform (or send it raw) to various clients). Step 2 is easy enough, but step 1 will require some work.
But then, XForms may some day be supported by Mozilla directly, allthough, when you read how the bug has created a flamewar, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97806
it is not really clear if people really want that, even if somebody wrote the code.
Actually the flame war was just Ian Hickson being his usual anti-XForms "HTML Is The One True Idol" self. And it pretty much died out at the end. I intend to look into implementing XML Events in Mozilla, and later on XForms if no one's done it.
