More on the "form" attribute: I assume that the type of the "form" HTML attribute is IDREF. There is one precedent: the "for" attribute on the label element. In the DOM the type of the corresponding property (renamed to "htmlFor" for different reasons) is DOMString. WF2 extends HTMLLabel with a property "control" of Element type, which returns the actual element that the "for"/"htmlFor" attribute points to. So the DOM property corresponding to the IDREF attribute is of type DOMString, while a sepereate DOM property (which doesn't correspond directly to a HTML attribute) points directly to the reference element. Based on this precedent I propose that the "form" attribute is renamed to avoid clash with the "form" property in the DOM. (I cant think of a good name, though). The new attribute should have a corresponding DOM property of type DOMString. Olav Junker Kj?r
