It doesn't have to run in a browser, but the user's PCs are not
under my control so it is simpler if I don't have to wrestle
with client-side installations.

A browser plugin may be a necessary evil.

I'm checking out XForms.  It appears interesting so far.

Sideways question: does it have to run in a browser, and any browser  
at that? What you describe sounds a lot like XForms. There's a Firefox  
extension for it (and a bunch of plugins or server transcoders).

That's never the solution.
