All, I seem to be missing something. Checkin the 03 February 2009 version, it seems that XForms 1.1, allows both @src and an inline instance, or an inline instance and @resource, or possibly all three, at the same time. Now I am puzzled as to the reason we need @resource at all, or both an inline instance and @src/@resource. The spec says in "1.5.1 Model and Instance" [1]: "The instance element now has a resource attribute that allows instance data to be obtained from a URI only if the instance does not already contain data. By contrast, the src attribute overrides the inline content in an instance. The resource attribute is more useful in systems that must support save and reload of XForms-based documents." Since an error while handling @src causes form processing to halt, why would anyone put an inline instance then? Similarly, if an inline instance is present, why would anyone put the @resource attribute in, since the inline instance will be used and therefore @resource ignored? -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com
