Re: XForms Object Model discussion?

same doubt over here too. I don't think an XFormsOM to be really 
required in order to put XForms to use but I do think we need some more 
hooks to integrate it with existing HTML based web sites and 
applications out there.

For example, wouldn't it be nice to just add an xforms:submitInfo 
attribute on any legacy HTML element to turn it into a nice 
presentation-independent <submitInfo> UI?

I could then throw an xforms:model in the head of my XHTMLs and just add 
the proper hooks (bind, ref, submitInfo, etc.) as xforms attributes to 
my XHTML UI.

Will we have to wait for evolution of XHTML modularization + XForms 1.1 
to have that or am I missing something big here and the one I described 
above won't be the way to go and how can existing UI languages (as used 
by millions of forms applications today) be used w/XForms is still to be 
determined?

Thank you and best regards,
ciao
