11:57 PM - XForms, what the hell are they?

I got a link to wikipedia in relation to NeXT tonight and i stumbled across XForms. I've seen it posted on the w3 site for awhile and just thought it was a new syntax for HTML forms. Its much more than that. Its an MVC approach to forms which uses XML as a data source (part of the model) and can populate the form. What's really interesting is that it can be used in a generalized form to build GUIs. There are toolkits to use this client or server side, on mobile devices or even as an abstraction for standard local gui apps.

This info caused me to research MVC more :)
