I have a question regarding the validity of the XForm's testsuite case 3.4.1[1] with respect to mustUnderstand [2]. I know that some of these issues have already been raised [3] but wanted to state that Mozilla XForms is currently not adding support for this [4] due to some of these issues. We are considering the test case 3.4.1 to be invalid until these issues are resolved. Here are some of the issues with mustUnderstand: - When does it get evaluated? Must it be handled prior to xforms-ready or say if it's in a switch/case, only when the case is activated? - Can mustUnderstand be manipulated by script? If nodes are dynamically added to layout but conflicts with mustUnderstand, what error should occur? Perhaps a better fallback mechanism should be used. Though I might propose completely removing mustUnderstand as I don't know of anyone who has implemented it. Another thought is to seek feedback or give requirements to the CDF WG [5], as they are currently dealing with such issues around mixing namespace documents and content negotiation and fallback handling of unknown content.
