Examploforms - technology-neutral form description

[Micah Dubinko <micah@dubinko.info>]

Well, I misunderstood Stephen's statements by about 180 degrees, and for 
that I apologize. :) To make up for it, I have something else to offer.

I told Ken last week that I couldn't think of any existing 
technology-neutral ways to specify input--but I forgot about my own project!

http://examploforms.org

It builds on the basic ideas of Rick Jelliffe's Schematron and Eric van 
der Vlist's Examplotron. The basic data structure is just a piece of XML 
representing the skeleton that gets fleshed out with form data, adding 
form-specific annotations like labels, indications of calculations, and 
so on.

My current (experimental) implementation is an XSLT that transforms 
examploforms into XForms, but it would be just as easy to go to any 
other form technology.

Anyway, worth a look, if for nothing else as a starting point for 
discussions.
