AW: Stylesheet for Transforming HTML forms to XForms

Hi,

I did my best to include all of your suggestions :)
The new version now transforms xhrml:label elements if they occur
directly before an xforms control or have a "for" attribute.
When there is a <td> parent I leave it as it is, since otherwise it may
wreck any table layouts.
Attached is a new version of my stylesheet and some test cases.
Any feedback is heartly welcome.
Hope you enjoy it.

all the best,
Roman

> model="model1".
> 3) A nice feature would be to transform a xhtml:label like:
> <xhtml:label for="ctrl1">Label</xhtml:label><xhtml:input type="input" 
> name="some" value="bb" id="ctrl1"/>
> to
> <xforms:input ref="/instance/some">
>   <xforms:label>Label</xforms:label>
> </xforms:input>
> 
> 4) For input/@type="file" it does not generate a instance 
> element to hold the value. It would be great if it did that 
> and additional specified the type to be e.g. a base 64 
> encoding using xsi:type="xsd:base64Binary".

> If you shared the html files you use to test with it would be 
> much easier to provide you with feedback.
