Re: Teaser with model and bind

Erik,

I tested your teaser (I changed bind/@ref to bind/@nodeset):

    * EMC Formula: "banana"
    * Mozilla extension: "Joe"
    * XSLTForms: nothing

According to XForms 1.1 recommendation,

    * Every XPath expression requires an evaluation context consisting
      of a node, position, size, variable bindings, function set, and
      namespace context.
    * if the binding element expresses a |model| attribute that refers
      to a |model| other than the one containing the context node, then
      the context node of the in-scope evaluation context is changed to
      be the top-level document element node of the default instance of
      the referenced |model|, and the context position and size are
      changed to 1.
    * [the output Element] cannot bind to element nodes that have
      element children.
    * If element child nodes are present, then an
      |xforms-binding-exception| occurs.

So, my point of view is that an exception should occur and I'm still 
proud of XSLTForms for not being completely wrong ;-)

It might be easier for developer if context could consist of a node for 
each model... then "Joe" would be displayed, don't you think?

BTW, is there a price to win? ;-)
