Dear Forms WG, The editor's copy of XForms 1.1 available from our home page has been updated and is ready for the group to consider resolving to request advancement to PR. Two changes were made: 1) There is now an additional sentence in the delete action to indicate that its behavior is undefined when the nodeset binds to multiple instances, per working group discussion today. 2) I made a mind-numbing pass through the document to change all occurences of the word "optional" to "author-optional" (with some grammatical tweaks as needed on a case-by-case basis) when we meant to imply that the element, attribute or function parameter had a default and did not need to be expressed by an author. In the introduction, I added an explanation about this new term and how it differs from the use of optional where we mean optional to implement. About a week ago I was reading the specification for the digest() function and realized that the way we had indicated author optional content conflicted with how the spec claimed to use the word optional in the intro, and I bit the bullet today to fix it.
