Normative changes to submission based on adding the examples

The latest editor's draft available now contains a number of changes that 
were inspired by the edition of the submisson examples.

1) The submission element overview for the method attribute was missing 
"multipart-post".

2) The mediatype attribute incorrectly said that the type should be 
consistent with application/xml.  Now that we have 
xforms-submit-serialize, the requirement is that form authors should 
ensure that the type is consistent with the actual content being 
submitted. 

3) The target attribute incorrectly identified its content as a binding 
expression (rather than just an XPath) and it did not express the 
evaluation context.

4) The xforms-submit-serialize event context property submission-body was 
indicated to be a string (text node). We previously decided it was not 
worth the effort of making it an element because we could not see anything 
wrong with binding to a text node.  However, seeing the example caused me 
to realize that it was incorrect from the XPath data model perpective.  In 
XPath 1.0, empty text nodes do not exist.  Unfortunately, the 
submission-body is specified to be an empty string that is allowed to be 
changed by an event handler.  So it would not have been unreasonable to 
conclude that the ref on the setvalue in the example was bound to an empty 
nodeset, which would have prevented the setvalue from running  To fix 
this, I simply defined the property as returning a node instead.
