> I'm still disturbed by @ref use because a Binding expression should return > nodes not a value, am I right? In Orbeon Forms, @ref can return any sequence of items, not only nodes. Now the question is whether the working group in fact decided to do this. Nick, do you remember the details? The XForms 2.0 doc right now says [1] "Binding expression interpreted as specified in the expression module." The XPath Expressions Module [2] defines a Binding expression as "An [XPath 2.0] expression used in a binding". But certainly it should address the fact that a binding expression does not necessarily point to nodes, and how it deals with atomic values. Right now I don't find anything on that topic in the spec. Nick, do you have any feedback on this? -Erik [1] http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/XForms_2.0#Binding_Attributes
