I disagree with "each" here: a user may be typing fast in an input or text field, and committing data upon each keystroke may have negative performance implications. This is particularly true if your XForms engine is distributed between client and server, where latency makes it even more impractical to send each and every keystroke to the server. I think it would be reasonable to say that changes should be committed "from time to time", so as to give the user the perception that changes are taken into account immediately, but not necessarily upon each keystroke. -Erik -- Orbeon - XForms Everywhere: http://www.orbeon.com/blog/
