Dear XBL experts,

This email comments on the 7 September 2006 LCWD of XBL 2.0.

In Section 4 "Binding Attachment and Detachment", what does 'the element 
has been created' mean ? For instance, in a SAX parser, may this mean as 
soon as the start event has been called ?

Should the sentence "In particular, binding can happen before the 
element is inserted into its document." be interpreted as a yes or is it 
just meant for element created and bound by script. Please clarify.   
 
What are the consequences of  "[...] such that to any running scripts it 
appears that the binding was applied immediately." ? In particular, 
Section 4.4 says "this attachment is not necessarily synchronous". Do I 
understand correctly:
- if the binding is loaded, the attachment should be instantaneous 
(almost synchronous)
- if the binding is not loaded, the attachment is not synchronous ?
