And it is in use already [2]. Does it provide automatic checking of forms you fill? Conditional questions in forms based on previous answers? Automatic copy-paste of identical information being asked more than once? I can understand and appreciate how such a thing could be quite helpful when you fill out a bunch of documents at once. The *idea* of what PDF provides (this latest functionality that has been discussed in this thread) is good. The *implementation* is bad and proprietary. But unless ODF provide equivalent functionality, this bad and proprietary implementation of a good idea is the only option, and people are going to use it.
