Hello, #1: I'm now considering how to add new input widgets in XSLTForms. It's a great idea to allow xf:input to have a different behavior according to datatypes and the recommendation doesn't limit this to xsd:date and xsd:boolean. For example, a color picker could be based on a new xf:color datatype. Then, I wonder if xf:range, xf:secret, xf:upload, xf:textarea and xf:select1 couldn't even be obtained from other datatypes to be defined with just xf:input?? So, instead of defining a new element for each new control type, this would be an implementation-dependent feature to render it with a widget or with just a regular input field in a sort of "raw" mode. Is XBL good for extending xf:input behavior?? #2: About xf:select, I think that the idea of space separated values is good for attribute bindings but, for me, for element bindings, it would be more an XML approach to clone the element with the newly selected value. This way, an xf:repeat structure could be based on it. Did the WG already consider these questions? Thanks! -Alain
