Re: namespace question

Hi Swithun,

Your problem is a bug in Firefox, the default namespace of the submitted 
instance should be the empty one. You have correctly specified this on 
your in-line instance.

I searched the Firefox XForms bugzilla database and found a bug report for 
this problem https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445285 . You 
probably want to vote on this bug report.
