Hi- I'm wondering if any more thought has gone into the specifics of save-restore? I realize that this will most likely not be included in the Spec for some time, but I'm curious to read any speculation for a mechanism as to how this might be accomplished. I see that XFrames takes a URI string of concatenated attribute-value pairs [1], and have also seen a cookie approach used, but neither seems particularly elegant, in terms of the XML context in which XForms operates. Has anyone discussed other methods of doing this? I would be very interested in seeing a standardized method making its way into the Spec.
