Not even a little bit.  This is true for AcroForms, but merging XFA
forms is another matter entirely.

Bottom Line: iText supports XFA only as far as getting and setting field
values.  Only.  Period.

Some other things might work part of the time (flattening static forms),
but it's not officially supported.  In the case of flattening, XFA has a
number of field appearance and formatting options we don't support.
Anything XFA-related beyond getting and setting field values that
Actually Works is a happy accident, and there's almost certainly cases
where the right input would cause iText to fail.

Some might blame iText at that point.  We wouldn't.  We'd blame the
folks using iText for something that is expressly unsupported.
