Hello, I've written an xslt stylesheet that transforms XForm declaration + HTML presentation page into a DHTML page that implements the XForms behaviours. The targets are IE and Netscape 4.0 browsers. I need to use the money data type with two currencies. But the features defined in the draft are not enough for me. I can specify one or more currencies but only one min and max value. The trouble is that switching the currency will probably change these limits. I think the attribute decimals can be different too in two different currencies. I suggest to define attributes min, max et decimals as space separated lists like attribute currency is. XForms is able to define logic (model) and data (instance) but there is nothing clear about presentation. I imagine this is not a goal for XForms, interface should link to model definition and instance data. XForms define the fields of the form but a field is sometimes linked to a label. Today, I write these labels at the presentation step but it's boring because labels should be the same whatever output (HTML, WML, ...) you choose. Moreover, XForms logic can generate presentation itself (displaying message popup), so XForms logic must knows the labels. In the Javascipt example, the XML node names are used as label. This can't be suitable to multilingual applications or even because of XML node name syntax limits. Maybe I'm wrong and you'll give me a better point of view. I'm sorry about my very poor english. I hope I'm clear enough and you'll find answer to my questions.
