XForms WG Resolution:

The first of the references describes a need for two instances which
previously needed to be in different models, the cited example could now be
handled by:

<xform:model id="m1">
  <xform:instance id="i1">
   <i:dad>
    <i:son1>value</i:son1>
    <i:son2>value</i:son2>
   </i:dad>
  </xform:instance>

  <xform:instance id="i2">
   <i:mom>
    <i:daughter>value</i:daughter>
   </i:mom>
  </xform:instance>
  <xform:bind ref="instance("i2")/i:mom/i:daughter" calculate="instance
('i1')/i:dad/i:son1"/>
  <xform:bind ref="instance("i1")/i:dad/i:son2" calculate="instance
('i2')/i:mom/i:daughter"/>
</xform:model>

the dependency mechanism will cater for this situation correctly. The
second reference is to an interim response by Micah explaining that his
original use of an id on and instance was incorrect.

In summary, the changes that we have made to support multiple instances
within a model adequately cover the use case described in the last call
comment.
