I'm not sure that a low level technology like XForms is going to be a "killer app." XForms are nice, but going forward it'll be like trying to write desktop GUI's with Crystal Reports. I think the real AJAX killer app is going to be collaborative spreadsheets ( http://blogs.pathf.com/agileajax/2006/05/collaborative_s.html ).

Don’t forget OpenOffice.org has a great XForms facility – perfect design environment and a good offline handler as well, I gather some ebXML applications use it that way.

Another good reason why we included XForms in the healthcare and education announcement in October: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/dw_blog_comments.jspa?blog=384&entry=98140

XForms was conceived before AJAX was around. Any AJAX powered claim on XForms would have to rely on features not mentioned in the XForms specification, i.e. through special javascript or proprietary xform actions.
