                        <p>XForms is an XML application that represents the next generation
of forms for the Web. XForms is not a free-standing document type,
but is intended to be integrated into other markup languages, such
as XHTML<span>, ODF</span> or SVG. An XForms-based web form gathers
and processes XML data using an architecture that separates
presentation, purpose and content. The underlying data of a form is
organized into <b>instances</b> of data schema (though formal
schema definitions are not required). An XForm allows processing of
data to occur using three mechanisms:</p>
                        <ul>
                           <li>
                              <p>a declarative <b>model</b> composed of formulae for data
calculations and constraints, data type and other property
declarations, and data submission parameters</p>
                           </li>
                           <li>
                              <p>a <b>view</b> layer composed of intent-based user interface
controls</p>
                           </li>
                           <li>
                              <p>an imperative <b>controller</b> for orchestrating data
manipulations, interactions between the model and view layers, and
data submissions.</p>
                           </li>
                        </ul>
                        <p>Thus, XForms accommodates form component reuse, fosters strong
data type validation, eliminates unnecessary round-trips to the
server, offers device independence and reduces the need for
scripting.</p>
                        <p>XForms 1.1 refines the XML processing platform introduced by
[XForms 1.0] by adding several new
submission capabilities, action handlers, utility functions, user
interface improvements, and helpful datatypes as well as a more
powerful action processing facility, including conditional,
iterated and background execution, the ability to manipulate data
arbitrarily and to access event context information.</p>

                        <p>This paper introduces the concept of a "Rich Web Application Backplane" --
a set of common building blocks for web applications. We argue that
submission, data models, model-view binding and behavior, and web components
can provide a common infrastructure for multiple markup formats. Further, we
propose a common infrastructure for both declarative and imperative web
programming languages. By aligning APIs and their declarative
representations, we hope to support both implementation approaches and
increase interoperability between them.</p>
