Ivelin,

There are specific comments in the XForms Candidate Recommendation about <
xforms:input> and <xforms:output> that they should "take into account" 
localisation and internationalisation issues.

What that actually means is not obvious to me.

The page at http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/ specifies liaison with the I18n 
WG. The i18n area got a new staff member and is beginning to put out 
documents, e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-i18n-guide-framework-20030417/. 
So things are progressing at one level.

If the new XForms Charter was publicly accessible there may be useful hints 
there. Unfortunately, 
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/Group/2003/xforms-wg-charter.html is still 
available to W3C members only.

I guess you need an XForms WG member to respond on this one.

Sorry I can't be more help.
