Hey,

I just want to verify that an empty instance element should generate a 
xforms-link-exception, right?

For example,

<xforms:model>
   <xforms:instance id="myInstance"/>
</xforms:model>

My reading of the spec leads me to think so since the instance document 
can't be well-formed without a root element which should generate a 
xforms-link-exception.  The different processors seem to behave 
inconsitently with my testcase.  Novell gives the warning.  X-Smiles has 
their own processor error and formsPlayer and Mozilla just let it 
proceed as normal.

Please let me know what the proper behavior should be.

Thanks,
--Aaron
