We looked at XForm a bit more closely and found that not many rules are needed to have a basic good ITS definition. I've listed
those rules below:

<its:rules xmlns:its="http://www.w3.org/2005/11/its" version="1.0"
 xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
 <!-- Example of ITS rules for XForm -->
 <!-- Translate data category -->
 <its:translateRule selector="//x:value" translate="no"/>
 <!-- Element Within Text data category -->
 <its:withinTextRule selector="//x:output" withinText="yes" />
</its:rules>

We think it could be helpful for people using ITS-aware translation tools to have access to this example somewhere near the XForm
specification or schemes.

Cheers,
-Yves
