I know we have a process, and if an issue was discussed at the f2f had a resolution, then great. I couldn't be at the f2f, and that was not because I didn't want to be there. This is why I still kindly ask WG members to look at the email I just sent on this topic: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-forms/2007Jun/0089.html I argue in that email that adding @ref is in fact adding to inconsistency. Yes it is, in a way, adding consistency with xforms:upload, but in my mind this is misplaced consistency. Consistency of the function of the attribute is in my opinion more important. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/
