What I was aiming for was that it *should* work. What I was thinking was
that all you do is translate an XForms document into another XForms
document. So say you want to implement tabs--you take each xf:case within
the xf:switch that you want to use, and then create a xf:trigger to that
toggle that particular xf:case. But the resulting document is still XForms,
and it's this resulting document that gets used by formsPlayer, X-Smiles,
Mozilla, FormsFaces, Orbeon, etc.

The only point I made about the server-side processors in particular is that
if we ended up with a great list of these standard pre-processing steps,
they could add this to their pipeline so that you don't need to do it in
your editor. But it would need to be a distinct pre-processing step.

I'm hoping that by making these things public we can make them standard.
(Although in the case of the timer it doesn't need to use the XForms DOM;
what are you thinking needs to be changed?)
