mastodon: Implementing form filling and accessibility in the

<p><font size="+1">This appears to mean that Firefox on Linux can
open and fill those pesky Canadian Government forms that were
created with Adobe Livecycle. These used to appear as "<i><b>Please
wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the
proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be
able to display this type of document</b></i>." but now open
as proper forms.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">This must have been non-trivial to implement,
because even Adobe couldn't create XFA forms outside the
Windows-only Livecycle.</font></p>
