Dear W3C Forms Community, Recently, the working group decided to update the names of the submission/@target attribute, the dispatch/@target attribute, and the dispatch/target element to the following: submission/@targetref, dispatch/@targetid, and dispatch/targetid. For backward compatibility with existing XForms 1.1 documents, processors may continue to support the deprecated 'target' naming and provide equivalent behavior, except that the 'target' name is ignored when the corresponding targetref or targetid is provided in the submission or dispatch element markup. This change was made to remove the main obstacle to importing XForms into XHTML2 without namespace qualification. The test suite, which can be obtained via links from the group homepage, has been modified to reflect this change. The working group would like to encourage adoption of the new spelling and support for the affordance for backwards compatibility at the earliest convenience of implementers, and an email notification indicating such support would be gratefully received. However, the working group does not believe that the change of spelling and backwards compatibility affordance have any appreciable effect on the assessment of implementability of the features. Thus, the working group sees no reason to delay the process of the advancing XForms 1.1 based on the implementation reports received so far. Best regards, John M.
