FWIW: I've read the XForms specification a few years back and played a bit  
with the Firefox plugin:

   http://annevankesteren.nl/test/xml/xforms/

Since then I've read some parts of the XForms specification mostly when  
specific features came up in discussions, such as the repetition model,  
etc.

I certainly don't have extensive knowledge about XForms. I like to think  
I've enough knowledge about it to reasonably judge about it. I believe  
I've certainly enough knowledge to judge about it when it comes down to  
compatibility with HTML4.

I asked that question because I assumed XForms always required a <model>  
somewhere to be present. Apparently it doesn't. (Or it does and the given  
example was not complete.)

(At this point I'm not sure why I'm writing so much down, so I'll post it  
to www-archive.)
