Re: corrections in or related to XForms 1.1 submission module.

Hi Vlad,

Thanks for sending these comments.  Both have been remedied in the 1.1 
recommendation, which was published today.

Thank you,

corrections in or related to XForms 1.1 submission module.




The XForms 1.1 spec says: 

a). 

6.1.4 The relevant Property 
Description: indicates whether the model item is currently relevant. 
Instance data nodes with this property evaluating to false are not 
serialized for submission. 
This seems to ignore the relevant="false" attribute of submission. 
b) 
 11.2 The xforms-submit Event 
... 
2. If the binding attributes of submission indicate an empty nodeset or a 
non-element node, then submission processing is stopped after dispatching 
event xforms-submit-error with context information containing an 
error-type of no-data. Otherwise, the binding attributes of submission 
indicate a node of instance data. 

This seem to contradict the default value of the ref attribute of 
submission being "/". 

Thanks,
