Chapter 2. XForms Building Blocks

"What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork."

Pearl Bailey

"XML lets organizations benefit from structured, predictable documents. Thus, XML breeds forms. QED."

David Weinberger

The previous chapter ended with a look at the simple syntax of XForms. This chapter goes into greater detail on the concepts underlying the design of XForms, as well as practical issues that come into play, including a complete, annotated real-world example.

A key concept is the relationship between forms and documents, which will be addressed first. After that, this chapter elaborates on the important issue of host languages and how XForms integrates them.
