Hello,

  Mark Birbeck - the project lead of the x-port.net
FormsPlayer - has posted a detailed response to Ian
Hixie's XForms Myths story on his blog titled 'The
"XForms Myth" Myth'.

  See
http://internet-apps.blogspot.com/2005/03/xforms-myth-myth.html
 for details.

   Ian Hixie also has already responded to Mark's post
commenting:

  I personally like XForms. However, I think it is a
lost cause on the popular Web for three reasons:

  1. It's not backwards compatible with existing Web
content and existing Web browsers,
  2. It uses too many levels of abstraction to be
understood by most authors.
  3. It requires the use of many namespace prefixes.


   - Gerald
