Yup. Though, XForms is (will be) considerablbly more powerful. The fp
taglib is more concerned with reading/writing form data in XML while
XForms seeks to redefine forms technology in general.
FWIW, the folks over a Stack Overflow have created Mozquito
(http://www.mozquito.org/) that trys to implement many of the cool
features of XForms for today's browsers. What they've done is pretty
astonishing, but when I saw how it worked I ran screaming from the
building. . .
