    Hi gang,
    
    This is a sort of day-dream email.
    
    Recently I have had a number of use-cases that included embedding forms  
    within forms (the biggest example of course being the test suite).
    
    My current method of doing this is to use an iframe; easy to do but with a  
    hurdle: it is hard to communicate between the parent and child forms. The  
    only way, it seems to me, is via a submit to a shared resource; not ideal.
    
    Has anyone tried such things already?
    
    It seems to me that the most XForms-like approach would be to pre-populate  
    a child-form's instance in some way, and to return values using some form  
    of submit to the parent.
    
    Any experience?
    
    Steven
