RE: Evaluation Context of actions?

Hi Michael,

By "evaluation context" do you mean for XPath? It should be the same set of
rules as the rest of XForms, namely, on a tree walk from the containing
document node to the containing document root, the first (or "outermost")
set of binding attributes you encounter will set the XPath context node.

If you get all the way to the root without seeing an element with binding
attributes, then the XPath context node is the top-level element in the
instance data (yes, this is a change).

So, to answer your question more directly, setValue (now setvalue), insert,
and delete all contain binding attributes and thus set a new context node.
setRepeatCursor (now setindex) does not change the context node, and uses
whatever is in scope already.
