In the last couple of days, I’ve had three completely separate instances of people freshly interested in XForms coming to ask me about Stuff.<\/p>\n
A declarative model is pretty much irresistible compared to the alternatives. But nobody can directly use an abstract declarative sculpture–sombody needs to put some solid vocabulary and processing meat on the skeleton. And, of course, a good example of that is XForms.<\/p>\n
Around the time the book<\/a> came out, I put together a modest XForms Validator, modeled after the W3C validator of the time. It later went open source<\/a>, and is available online<\/a>. But compared to the latest in online validator technology, it feels more than a little dated.<\/p>\n Hypothetically speaking, if I actually had free time, would it make sense to update the XForms Validator? What would you use it for? Would you be willing to help?<\/p>\n Comments below.
