I found it programmatically easier to introduce a "grouping" tag around
XForms action. 

For example, in the current specification, you define something like: 

<button>
  <caption>Press Me:</caption>
  <resetInstance ev:event="..." />
  <loadURL href="..." ev:event="..." />
</button>

It would be easier for a programmer of the XForms viewer to group the action
tags together, for example: 

<button>
  <caption>Press Me:</caption>
  <actions>
      <resetInstance ev:event="..." />
      <loadURL href="..." ev:event="..." />
  </actions>
</button>

It's more efficient because the code does not have to search for all the
possible action tags but just iterate through the "actions" tag.

Has the working group considered this?
