Hello, Currently, the author cannot control the presentation of the value of the output control. I propose that @type attribute is added to the output element. This way e.g., the different date types would start to make sense when using a screen reader (they would be read aloud using the users locale settings). For instance, in XForms, the presentation of the output element is depending on the type of the underlying data item. The type attribute for output element would be restricted to the list of type extensions in 2.4. Another approach would be to use the @for attribute to derive the type, but that would restrict the usage of typed outputs into elements, which have a corresponding input element.
