RE: Model properties

Micah leaked an early version of the schema. Some of the changes include
changing the xform element name to model and changing the model element name
to schema.

See the attached schema for more info.

Thank you for your answer.
Just one last question about your answer : you have put the tag
<xforms:instance> as a child of <xforms:model>. But I have read on the WD of
the W3C that the tag <model> is a child of <xforms:xform>. Could I correct
it as follow :

<xforms:xform>
  <xforms:instance>
    <my:root>
      <my:firstname/>
      <my:lastname/>
      <my:address/>
    </my:root>
  </xforms:instance>
  <xforms:model>
    <xforms:bind ref="root/firstname" required="true"/>
    <xforms:bind ref="root/address" required="true"/>
 </xforms:model>
</xforms:xform>
