--- Comment #17 from James Cloos <cloos at jhcloos.com> ---
It looks like the xfa situation isn’t as dire as I’d been led to understand.

OTOH, I’m not entirely certain that the licence text in the preface of the pdf
referenced in comment #9 is GPL-compatible.  Or even DFSG-compatible.

In any case (unless Albert things otherwise), it probably should not be
implemented as part of poppler.  I suspect an xfa-specific library would be
better.

Poppler, of course, can help by assisting the extraction of the xml.

It is a huge (and likely non-Free) standard, will require web-browser-like
implementation, and xfa is not limited to pdf encapsulation.

It might work better as an extension to webkit or gecko.
