In today's teleconference, I noted that one of the use cases for doc() in xquery used with XForms might be to iterate over a set of resources and load them, as it's difficult to do in XForms.  John reported that it isn't difficult, only a bit of typing.

Erik mentioned that we had originally proposed @iterate for XForms 1.1, but it got dropped.

Here is Orbeon's documentation for it:

I believe we should consider @iterate for XForms 1.2.

Leigh.
