I've read a few articles about them...and PHP docs...I'm still confused as to their useful-ness...
As I understand, there real purpose is to submit data as an XML data structure??? I'm not sure I see the usefulness behind that. How do they expedite development in terms of validation, etc?

Re: XForms
They're mostly about model / view separation, IIRC, and include built-in client side validation. Nothing that you can't already accomplish with a little JavaScript, but it would be nice not to have to.
They still aren't fully supported by IE or FF, and are slated to be the form component of xhtml 2. I've heard about them for years, and I expect to wait at least that long again before I use them in production for the first time.
