Not sure I understand what you mean (do you mean the parts that weren't submitted because relevant was false on them?) but it doesn't seem to be the case according to: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-xforms-20031014/slice4.html#evt-modelConstructDone > surely this is ridiculous. isnt one of the primary outcomes of x-forms supposed to be that you > can easilly manipulate xml, save it, and then read it back in top modify it sometime later? The XForms design goals are stated here, it doesn't seem to me that they cover exactly what you mentioned: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-xforms-20031014/slice2.html > This is just about the last straw for me and x-forms I think.

See reference above for the exact rules and algorithm. I may be getting it wrong but it seems to me that XForms 1.1 will make even easier to control this issue as it would allow to create arbitrary instance nodes on the fly in response to events. > hoping someone can shed some light.
