It seems to me that there is a potential problem for the user of a form if it is possible for required="true()" and relevant="false()" to co-exist. In that scenario the table at the end of 6.1.4 indicates that the required by non-relevant form control would likely be inaccessible to the user (unless he had diagnostic powers which it is probably unreasonable to expect). As I read the CR it would not be possible to submit the form because required="true()" and the data hasn't been entered and it might not be possible to access the required form control because relevant="false()". Hopefully such a situation would occur rarely, but wouldn't it be better to ensure that it cannot happen? It seems to me that it might be better if there were a rule which indicated that a piece of data which is not relevant cannot be required. Andrew Watt
