Actually, LibO (OpenOffice) has very powerful "form" creating tools and 
it follows a recognized ISO document standard 
(http://www.iso.org/iso/fr/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1004). It would 
make sense, to me, to try to advertise this fact and to encourage the 
use and posting of forms made with with LibO.

Then if people wanted to modify the forms, they would just have to 
modify the forms, it would just be a question of re-working the LibO file.

IMHO, this is what we should be encouraging.

LibO also does a great job at creating forms and then exporting these to 
.pdf format (.pdf is also an ISO document standard 
(http://www.iso.org/iso/pressrelease.htm?refid=Ref1141). If, for example 
you are creating a form for a group, you can send them both the .pdf 
form (there is no real way to modify this form in whole) and the LibO 
file that you used to create the form. The LibO file could then be used 
to modify the form is the group wanted.
