Hi Dave,
Thanks for the update. Given that XF-T has already proven to run
on today's browsers, no matter how the W3C ends up reconciling
XF-T vs WF2, it seems to me that a MUST requirement is that the
result of this XF-T vs WF2 reconciliation should be technology
that can be implemented via a small JavaScript library such that
it can run on top of today's browsers.
It would also be nice if:
1) There was a highly modular open source implementation of this
new (XF-T vs WF2) technology which could be added as a module to
the many fine Ajax libraries that exist in the world.
2) There was some attention to make sure that this new (XF-T vs
WF2) technology were designed to integrate well with HTML/Ajax
IDEs so that developers can create and debug their applications
using modern software development approaches, such as WYSIWYG
developer tools and integrated debuggers.

Both sound like excellent suggestions, and I would be interested in
exploring them further, preferably in collaboration with people who
know much more about Ajax IDEs than I do.
p.s. I think that it isn't a question of XF-T vs WF2, but rather a
synthesis of the best of both proposals. I will be exploring this on
the public wiki maintained by the W3C Forms working group over the
next month or so.
