From: "Daniel W. Connolly" <connolly@beach.w3.org> | Phill Hallam-Baker made an excellent suggestion that the list of magic | form field names be decentralized: the <form> element would be | annotated with a URI referencing a schema or template defining the | field names, ala: | | <form schema="http://www.mycompany.com/" action="/cgi-bin/buy-printer-paper"> | | <p>Badge number: <input name="badge-number"> --- So, the notion is that the browser maintains a list of user-specific values associated with each authority list it sees? You'd still lose the first time you saw each list - but if people referenced common lists, this would presumably still be less often than every new form. Better might be a *list* of schemata, so the first could be a "Web-standard" schema, the next an "organization-specific" schema, the next a "product-specific" schema, or whatever. Or, alternatively, the schema syntax could referencce a "parent" schema on which it would be overlaid. scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
