| submission/resource | Author-optional attribute containing an expression to evaluate using the in-scope evaluation context.

| output | Author-optional. An expression to be evaluated. The string result of the evaluation is rendered by the form control. If binding attributes are present to select a node, this attribute has no effect. The evaluation context is the same as would be applied to the evaluation of the Single Item Binding. This expression is re-evaluated whenever there is a change in any node to which the expression refers. An empty string is used if the evaluation fails. | <output value="'foo'"/> | binding | ||
| output/mediatype | An expression to be evaluated. The string result of the evaluation is used to specify the desired media type for output rendition. If a Single Item Binding is expressed, then this attribute has no effect. The evaluation context is the same as would be applied to the evaluation of the Single Item Binding. An empty string is used if the evaluation fails. | No content! |
<output><mediatype value="'text/plain'"/></output> | ../@mediatype | binding |
| item | Author-optional. An expression to be evaluated. The string result of the evaluation is used as the storage value of the item when it is selected. If a Single Item Binding is expressed, then this attribute has no effect. The evaluation context is the same as would be applied to the evaluation of the Single Item Binding. An empty string is used if the evaluation fails. | <item ref="foo"/>
<item value="'foo'"/> <item><value value="'foo'"/></item> (I think) <item><value>foo</value></item> |

| item/value | Author-optional. An expression to be evaluated. The string result of the evaluation is used as the storage value of the item when it is selected. If a Single Item Binding is expressed, then this attribute has no effect. The evaluation context is the same as would be applied to the evaluation of the Single Item Binding. An empty string is used if the evaluation fails. | <item><value value="'foo'"/></item>
<item><value>foo</value></item> |

| action/param | The optional value attribute specifies an XPath expression returning the value of the parameter to pass to the script. The value can be any sequence of items but is converted to a value compatible with the script type as needed. | The value of the parameter can either be specified by the value attribute or as inline text. The value attribute has precedence over the inline text. | <action><param value="'foo'"/></action>
<action><param>foo</param></action> |

| setvalue | Author-optional attribute containing an expression to evaluate, with the result stored in the selected instance data node. The evaluation context for this expression is the result from the Single Item Binding. To obtain the value, the result of the expression is processed as if by call to the string conversion function as described in the expression module. An empty string is used if the evaluation fails. | The element content of setvalue specifies the literal value to set; this is an alternative to specifying a computed value via attribute value. If neither a value attribute nor text content are present, the effect is to set the value of the selected node to the empty string (""). If both are present, the value attribute is used. | <setvalue value="'foo'"/>
<setvalue>foo</setvalue> |

| toggle/case | Author-optional attribute containing an expression to evaluate using the in-scope evaluation context. To obtain the case identity, the result of the expression is processed as if by call to the string conversion function as described in the expression module. An empty string is used if the evaluation fails. | Content: PCDATA
The case to be selected by the toggle action is given by the case attribute or the case element. If both are given, the element takes precedence. Due to the addition of the element, the case attribute is no longer required, but either the case attribute or the case element must appear. The case element can provide the identity of a case with either its string content or the value attribute. If both are given, then the value attribute takes precedence. |

| setfocus/control | Author-optional attribute containing an expression to evaluate using the in-scope evaluation context. To obtain the desired element identifier, the result of the expression is processed as if by call to the string conversion function as described in the expression module. An empty string is used if the evaluation fails. | Content: PCDATA
The identity of the element to which the setfocus action dispatches xforms-focus is given by the control attribute or the control element. If both are given, the element takes precedence. Due to the addition of the element, the control attribute is no longer required, but either the control attribute or the control element must appear. The control element can provide the desired element identifier with either its string content or the value attribute. If both are given, then the value attribute takes precedence. |

| dispatch/name | Author-optional attribute containing an expression to evaluate using the in-scope evaluation context.

An empty string is used if the evaluation fails. | Content: PCDATA
The event target of the dispatch action is given by the targetid attribute or the targetid element. If both are given, the element takes precedence. The targetid element can provide an IDREF for the event target with either its string content or the value attribute. If both are given, then the value attribute takes precedence. |
