Yes, I studied that section carefully. Your example doesn't
quite address my requirements:

  a) to collect ink trace data, e.g. as InkML
  b) to include SVG map data as an underlay

This could be considered as a compound control with two
fields, one for output only (the map) and the other for
input (as InkML) and output on a transparent layer that
lies above the map.

Naturally, it would be reasonable to consider SVG+XForms
combinations where SVG is used as the containing document for
the XForms controls, where the SVG is part of the presentation.
The map data itself is part of the application data, even
though it is represented in SVG.

Many thanks,
