Hi Micah,

I had a quick look at their website and developers’ guide and I wonder to which extent this can be considered an XForms implementation :-( …

In the roadmap they mention that “much of Blueprint’s philosophy and syntax comes from XForms” and the developpers’ guide shows that if they do borrow XForms element, these elements have been “cameleoned” in a non XForms namespace and are mixed with non XForms, non XHTML elements.

Have I missed something (I hope so!)?

Eric

Since this implementation is based on Xforms it would be nice if they had made a document somewhere where one can quickly see the syntactical and semantic differences. The documentation from my initial look over doesn’t show it.
