Re: Added context everywhere (by adding it to the binding attributes)

John,

I thought that the last two resolutions/actions invalidated the previous resolutions/actions. If we still want to go forward with this I can make the changes. But we should put it back on the agenda then, or agree by e-mail.

One thing, it might make sense to add model also to common attributes, because all XForms elements can now have  XPath expressions (AVT's in attributes and context attribute).

Kind regards,

Hi Nick and Leigh,

It hasn't been done yet, but this action is to correspond with
1) removing ref/nodeset as special attributes from elements like header and bind
2) adding binding exceptions on header and bind if you bind to a model other than the containing one with a model or a bind attribute
3) removing model as special attribute from elements like var and rebuild/recalculate/revalidate/refresh
4) clarifying special handling of model attribute on these elements

Also, Leigh, we were thinking that perhaps you were asking about whether context applied to only to single node bindings (versus also nodeset bindings) due to something specific you were reading that needed clarification, and if so, could you indicate what that is (unless it is now clear by the move of context attribute to the Common group).

Leigh,

Thank you for the great input!

We've added @context to Common attributes because now that we have AVT's (and if, while attribute on actions) it makes indeed sense to have context everywhere, this was the intention anyway. (We also ensured that all XForms elements allow at least the common attributes).

Could you elaborate a bit why you are thinking @context may not go on both single-node-binding and sequence-binding? It is intended to go everywhere.

Kind regards,

There is still a distinction between
single-node binding: @model, @ref, @bind
and
sequence-binding (formerly nodeset) binding @model, @ref, @nodeset, @bind
In that single-node-binding is used on
label, hjelp, hint, alert, message, item/value, item/copy, upload/filename, upload, output, output/mediatype, input, textarea, secret, select,select1, range, trigger, submit, load, setvalue, group, switch,
and sequence-binding is used on
itemset, insert, delete, repeat.

Q: Does @context go on both single-node-binding and sequence-binding?

Q: Also, does @context go in any of the following places, which currently have @nodeset, @ref, or @model:
header, bind
other actions (rebuild, dispatch, send, setfocus, etc)
var
