How the W3C Stack Measures Up

• Model: Core XML data for richly textured transaction, schema for transaction data, dynamic validity rules and calculations
• View: Exposes data to external processes for consumption or manipulation. Presentation is the human view; other views can be targeted to CM, DB, Workflows using namespaces.
• Controller: XML serializations of processes that can interact with data or whole document, e.g. insert/delete/set value, sign, submit
• XML events: the capture/bubble phase allows federated participation in processing, and event context provides the interaction interface.
• The exciting part is looking into the W3C stack of core technologies and finding it has a lot of the jam needed to help pull off this vision: XML, Namespaces, Schema, XPath, XForms, XML Signatures, XML Events...
