All, This email is in response to the following action item assigned to me: Erik to recommend where the spec should be clarified about xsi:type handling http://www.w3.org/2007/05/30-forms-minutes.html#action02 As a reminder of the issue at hand: * This came up when the following comment was being considered: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2007May/0076.html * The WG seemed to agree that even in the absence of an imported schema, xsi:type attribute on instance data should be processed. * However, the spec does not clearly state that this must happen. So we want to add a clarification. * My task is to identify the best location in the spec to clarify this. I think that the best place is "4.3.5 The xforms-revalidate Event", which already mentions xsi:type processing. We should add a note in that section. I suggest the following wording: "NOTE: xsi:type attributes on instance data elements are processed even in the absence of external or inline schema." There is already a note in this section. I suggest placing this new note right before the existing note. Note that this does not address the issue of allowing the use case of loading an instance containing xsi:type attributes without triggering schema processing. This is a separate issue, that may be covered by the following email: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2007May/0097.html This should satisfy this action item. The next step is for the WG to accept this change and introduce it in the spec. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/
