You might want to look into XSLTForms then - see
http://www.agencexml.com/xsltforms. It is purely javascript-based XForms
engine, which runs in browser. The XForms  is transformed into HTML
using XSLT stylesheet, which can be run in browser or server-side.

It has limitations tough - it lacks support for upload and there are
performance issues with large forms. But it was under active development
last time I checked (maybe 6 months back).

But your desktop app has to have decent javascript and DOM support then.
This might become your biggest obstacle.
