[OT] WHATWG aka " Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group"

[Matthias Wessendorf <mw...@gmail.com>]

Hi everybody,

I am just surfin' the web regarding XUL and so on.

Howerver I saw that WHATWG.org page.
http://www.whatwg.org

has anybody allready sawn this?

sounds fine, since they are about to provide extensions to HTML

like enhanced <input type="XXX"> for

emails or datetime for instance

  (in Web Forms 2.0 SPEC)

Perhaps the page and its SPEC contain valuable information for some of you.

Regrads,

I'm considering creating some XForms JSF components soon.
I read through "Using JSF technology for XForms applications" at
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/j-dw-java-jsfx-i.html some
time ago, but had a lot of problems getting the actual code to work.  
The licensing of that code is also unclear.  I'm also not convinced
that a direct mapping of JSF components to XForms elements is the best
way to take advantage of JSF and XForms.

It should simplify some (or a lot - depending on how many features they 
implement) of our code. I was hoping XForms would do all of this when 
the spec was started a few years ago, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

This all sounds great in theory, hopefully it will gain acceptance and 
be implemented into the browsers in our lifetime!

IMO there will still always be a need to abstract HTML (in whatever form 
it evolves to) using components in a framework like JSF. Developments 
like this will only make our jobs as component writers easier. Anything 
to simplify rendering is welcome!
