Validator vs. XForms
What is the future of the Validator, concerning the now finalized XForms
specification? As I understand it, both do about the same. Will there be
a kind of merge?

The challenge for XForms is that there are (effectively) zero clients
with XForms support already installed in the world. If IE were to
support XForms natively, that would be one thing, but it doesn't ... and
even Microsoft's InfoPath is not planning to support XForms. So why
should anyone care?
By the way, building XForms "submit" support into Struts -- or pretty
much any servlet-based environment -- would be a straightforward thing
to do with a Filter.

? The validator lets me set rules for the input fields in my forms. So
does XForms. There are already tools to generate the necessary
JavaScript for that (IBM Alphaworks) or to validate the input on the
Server (Chiba) and display errors.

Sorry, I don't get it. It has nothing to do with the Validator....
Any pointers appreciated!
