[XeTeX] XeTeX and PDF Forms

I hope it's not poor etiquette to respond to my own post. I'm guessing
that the lack of responses indicates that there's really no way to use
XeTeX for creating fill-in forms. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Is
this something that could be accomplished using PDF \specials somehow?
I know that other features of hyperref do work with XeTeX and I'm
really hoping to find a solution for creating PDF forms.

Thank you,

Mike Leonard
