Hi,

  To celebrate XForms new status as a fully endorsed
W3C standard (recommendation in W3C-speak) Steven
Pemberton wrote up an example-packed Getting Started
Guide for HTML junkies to help them see the light.

  Steven writes:

  Take this simple HTML form:

<html>
<head><title>Search</title></head>
<body>
    <form action="http://example.com/search"
          method="get">
         Find <input type="text" name="q">
         <input type="submit" value="Go">
    </form>
</body>
</html>

  and offers the squeaky clean W3C XForms alternative
that separates the model from the view:

<h:html xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
<h:head>
    <h:title>Search</h:title>
    <model>
        <submission action="http://example.com/search"
                    method="get" id="s"/>
    </model>
</h:head>
<h:body>
    <h:p>
        <input ref="q"><label>Find</label></input>
       <submit
submission="s"><label>Go</label></submit>
    </h:p>
</h:body>
</h:html>
