My opinion is that in XForms 2, the need for actions should be greatly reduced. Actions should be for rarely occurring situations. The most obvious case is in <repeat>, where you have to do a lot of work to add and delete items. My proposal is along the lines of <repeat bind="whatever" methods="insert delete"> ... </repeat> An implementation would be required to add some way of inserting and deleting elements. How that is done is left to implementations. Without the attribute, there would be no system-supplied method to insert or delete, though you could still do it with actions. You could also just allow deletes, or just allow inserts. The other place where you regularly need actions is in switch, but that is the subject of another mail.
