AW: XForms processors generalized API

Hi, Peter.

Considered the fact that the 'standard' is a working draft and therefore
many implementors keep cautious on changing their code to reflect the latest
changes, I'd appreciate to finish the XForms recommendation before starting
to think of an API.

However the idea of having this API specification is very good.
