RE: A possibility to bind XMLSchema to <instance> element, not only to <model>. What do you think?

Victor,
It already works pretty much like tht.
You can do this with <model schema="schema1.xsd schema2.xsd"> and all
instances under that model will share the same set of schemas.
The bind attribute is necessary only if you don't use a Schema.

I've got an idea that seems to me quite interesting.

I think it would be useful if the form authors could bind XMLSchema to 
<instance> elements. (something like <instance schema="schema.xsd">). 
With such a feature, the <bind> elements could "know" the datatype for a

given nodeset directly from the schema, without the need to specify a 
"type" attribute. Currently, the authors need that attribute - but this 
leads to code duplication - we need to bind nodes to their types both in

XMLSchema and in the XForms model.

Regards, Victor.
