There were several reasons. The most important ones
are:
* lack of community support - it was no community effort
* we decided to focus on a single forms framework (former woody)
IIRC also some security issues popped up. Besides
trying to implement a client side spec on the server
side has always been questionable.
...that's why we deprecated XMLForms a while ago
and moved on.
Please have a look into "forms" block. You will
find a pretty mature form handling implementation
that's been used and well supported by the cocoon
community.
You won't burn your hands again if you go for it.
Hope I summarized this correctly, folks?
cheers
