Re: Styling based on instance data

I think Chiba lets you do this by preprocessing and exposing this detail 
in a css hookable way.

eg:
<xf:repeat xf:appearance="full"...>
becomes:
<table class="compact-repeat valid | invalid readonly |
readwrite optional | required">
<tr class="repeat-item"> (has additional 'repeat-index' here
when selected)

sorry this doesnt help you with pure a xform, but then I guess with a 
pure xforms there is no guarantee that the platform that supports xforms 
also supports css, or anything else you might be using.
