XForms is the UI to enter the content in the registry and not teh 
content itself.
However, we also store XForms in the registry so as to make them 
discoverable.

Maybe we need to clarify this point.

Any type of content may be registered. For each type of content an XForm 
based UI may be registered
to author that type of content.

The XForm as well as content instances are managed symmetrically by the 
registry (precisely because it is content agnostic).

Sorry for the confusion. It is so hard to express details when you are 
constrained by real estate.

Because the implementation uses XForms among the standards that it 
implements.

Nothing in the specs requires XForms. That is no different from the fact 
that nothing in the specs requires JAXR API as well as many other value 
added features supported by the implementation. These are not features 
of the standard. They are features of the product.

XForms support is a value-added feature. It is not tied to a specific 
type of content.

We do not use PDF in our implementation but we do use XForms.

We do not list all the (unlimited) content types that can be registered 
by the registry unless it haqs something to do with a value-added 
feature we provide.

Thanks for your suggetsions.
