Re: Inserting the current node to a remote target

John,

    I encountered a similar problem, and I believe the response I got was
something like, "XForms 1.0 doesn't support this, but a solution is being
provided in XForms 1.1". There is a fairly healthy forum at xforms.org, if
you want to ask this question there. What I'd also like to see is the
ability to copy a node along with all of its children into an instance,
rather than having to specify each child to be copied.
