The Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (http://whatwg.org) "a loose unofficial collaboration of Web browser manufacturers and interested parties who wish to develop new technologies designed to allow authors to write and deploy Applications over the World Wide Web" develops three specs (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/) wtih a similar target: "<b>Web Applications 1.0</b> Extensions to HTML to make it more suitable for application development. <b>Web Forms 2.0</b> This specification defines Web Forms 2.0, an extension to the forms features found in HTML 4.01's forms chapter. Web Forms 2.0 applies to both HTML and XHTML user agents, and provides new strongly-typed input fields, new attributes for defining constraints, a repeating model for declarative repeating of form sections, new DOM interfaces, new DOM events for validation and dependency tracking, and XML submission and initialization of forms. This specification also standardises and codifies existing practice in areas that have not been previously documented. HTML4, XHTML1.1 and the DOM are thus extended in a manner which has a clear migration path from existing HTML forms, leveraging the knowledge authors have built up with their experience with HTML so far. <b>Web Controls 1.0</b> Some DOM and CSS extensions to create new form controls and widgets" Probably it will last some time till they implement it in their browsers - but I think, it ist worth to observe the developement - and be fast when it comes to prepare eZ publish
