CC'ing: <a href="mailto:implementors@whatwg.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">implementors@whatwg.org</a><br><br>I've released a cross-browser (Firefox 1+, MSIE 6/7, Safari 2+) implementation of Web Forms
2.0 at <<a href="http://code.google.com/p/webforms2/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://code.google.com/p/webforms2/</a>>. This implementation is a prototype of the features of WF2 using scripting. The implementation currently features much of the extensions to the form control elements (not including widgets), the repetition model, form validation, and fetching data from external resources (see more implementation details on the project page). I have been testing and incorporating the code into my own projects for a year now and I have found the implementation to be quite stable. I have created a WF2 test suite to verify the implementation; I hope it will help clarify to the working group what WF2 specifies (such as the repetition model): <

I've been away from reliable Internet this summer so I haven't yet submitted any reviews of WF2 to the HTML WG. I haven't seen very much discussion on the WF2 spec. My hope is that this cross-browser implementation and test suite will help to generate discussion on what WF2 is doing right and what about it needs improvement.
Remember that reviewing Web Forms 2.0 is just as important for this working group as reviewing HTML 5; see Ian H's recent comments <<a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Aug/0872.html">http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Aug/0872.html
