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/
