Don't know if this more suited in the XML section but still...

Should I be using XForms with XHTML (1.1) ?

According to W3Schools, XForms 1.0 became a W3C Recommendation in October 2003, however I don't see many people using them (in fact I don't think I've seen ANY people using them).

Do all modern browsers support them? Would it be beneficial to use them and prepare for the future (XHTML 2.0)?

Edit, OK now I know they're not supported until XHTML 2.0. Oops.

You can install XForms support into Firefox.

That's about it for XForms support. There might be an IE-plugin, though I really don't know off the top of my head.

Ah, yes I see there is an IE plugin too. I just suddenly got confused and thought they could be compatible with XHTML 1.0+ already, when really they're an XHTML 2.0 thing.
