With submission/resource/@value we can control the URI of submissions and enable REST architectural style operations on resources named by URIs. It's not very pretty, though, and form authors tend to use the default GET serialization of leaf nodes into query strings; then when a REST design would have them to POST or PUT, things get uglier again. It might be nice if XForms 1.2 could use a template to serialize some nodes into the resource. Joe Gregorio has an (expired) RFC on URI templates, and here are some pages about it: http://bitworking.org/news/URI_Templates http://blog.welldesignedurls.org/2007/01/03/about-uri-templates/ http://code.google.com/p/uri-templates/ http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-03 WADL uses the concept, as do some other REST systems (such as RESTLET). Also, I believe Philip Fennel has been using matrix recently, and perhaps this is another serialization we can use for the resource data. http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2006/12/the_matrix_revisited.html http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/MatrixURIs.html Leigh.
