[Fwd: Test case chapter4/016.xml] from Michael N. Lipp on 2003-03-04 (www-forms@w3.org from March 2003)

I've sent the message to the test suite mailing list, but this list doesn't seem to (not only did I get no response ;-) but my mail didn't appear in the archive). Can anybody comment on the test case I refer to below? I think the test case is wrong... - Michael

Hi,

I think test case chapter4/016.xml is wrong. It assumes that instance 
data is created for a form control because the already existing instance 
(arbitrarily) matches the root element created if no instance exists 
(<instanceData/>).

I cannot derive this behaviour from 4.2.5 of the spec. I think 
chapter4/016.xml obviously matches the case "If the instance referenced 
on the form control existed when the first 
xforms-form-control-initialize event is processed: ...".
