Today, I am sharing once again this moving speech improvised by Christopher Tolkien in January 2019, when he discovered the Aubusson tapestries created with his approval, and that of Baillie Tolkien, the Tolkien Estate and the Tolkien Trust. https://youtu.be/rQmh_Sfq88Y?t=226

For an upcoming release of my collection of add-on modules for the #SILE typesetting system, I wanted to have some fun and implemented PDF forms (interactive fields)...
Well, It is not the best-written part of the PDF specifications; and as far as I can tell playing with options, support by PDF viewers is at best spotty, when not to say inconsistent...
I wonder if these PDF forms are still used for anything serious, in the modern age of the web?
