ERH on Web Forms 2.0, XForms and APP

I don’t see a big future for the WHAT Working Group’s Web Forms 2.0. It’s got some nice bells and whistles, but it doesn’t change anything. It’s a modest cosmetic improvement — nothing revolutionary. Some Web developers will begin adopting it, but most will ignore it, just as Microsoft has. Many features can be supplied inside Windows® Internet Explorer® through JavaScript; but these are the same features that are available today through JavaScript. They’ll just be a little more standard. Web Forms 2.0 doesn’t bring anything new to the table, and it doesn’t radically alter how you think about or design your forms.

ERH also predicts that a blog publishing platform powered by XQuery, a native XML Database and APP will arrive in 2007. Can I have it now???
