With HTML, JavaScript, CSS, WAI-ARIA the possibilities are pretty much endless. Only problem is storing the data, which HTML forms can't seem to do without writing it to a server. I'd love to replace fillable PDF forms with a normal HTML form that you could just hit file > save as and store like PDF/Word forms. I do recommend avoiding PDF when possible but I know that's not always possible ;)
