RE: Question re bind constraint

Hi Chris,

The bind constraint appearing in your response does not
quite match the one I sent you.  Nice.  Clearly, having
current() on the brain caused me to have a lapse of 
current on the brain. :-)

Since XPath's nodeset to nodeset comparison already does a 
simple sequential search, you don't need current and can
go forward without any extension to XForms 1.0.

FYI the use case we want to solve with current() seems to
involve only slightly more complicated cases of table lookup
in which the found node is actually used.  The 1.1 working
draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xforms11-20041115/) contains 
an example.

Cheers,
John

Thanks.  That works and clarifies the spec for me.
