The title of the presentation
 
	XForms 2.0: What's New
 
An abstract of 100-150 words
 
	XForms was originally designed as a new XML-based markup language for forms on the web, and version 1.0 was just that. However, after initial experience, it was realised that the design had followed HTML too slavishly. With some generalisation XForms became more powerful in the form of XForms 1.1, a Turing-complete language that could still do forms, but very much more as well. Rather than procedural or functional, XForms's programming model is declarative, and this has proven to be very successful in reducing the time and costs of producing applications, typically by a factor of ten.
 
	XForms 2.0 is a new version of XForms in preparation by the working group, and continues the generalisation. This talk will present what has changed since version 1.1.
