Re Andrew Watt's comments as copied below. If Andrew Watt has misunderstandings of the XForms spec due to lack of clarity in the CR, what hope have mere mortals got when we come to implementing from or otherwise using the spec. I think the WG should appreciate the effort that Andrew has put into commenting on the CR even though his comments may seem pedantic. Sebastian should get off his high horse and realise he is a servant, albeit a voluntary one, of the public standards community and not a high priest. Thank you, Andrew, for daring to ask the questions that you have as these have challenged my own understanding of the spec.

You guys know what you mean to say. We on the outside can only attempt to arrive at your meaning by reading the words you guys write. If you don't write clearly enough we get misunderstandings. I have separately asked for clarification about what does or does not constitute "instance data" and "instance data nodes". An equally clear answer to that would let me make further progress in understanding what the WG is attempting to communicate. >>
