Hi Alain Pragmatism is an interesting concept at times :-) Any way, I was in no way suggesting stifling development if that is how you read my comment; it was just a high level point of principle consideration, to exercise trusted approaches and principles and ensure agreed standards and consistency (whatever that all means) and to avoid pitfalls. As I stated, I am not insinuating XSLTForms currently is any of what I said; nor was I doing any comparison. It is all good. Peace and good will.
