Several events include useful context information that can be accessed
from XPath expressions using the `event()` function. I would like to be
able to add context information to events that are dispatched using the
`xf:dispatch` element[0]. I invision this functionality being used in
something like the following way (assuming that the `xf` prefix maps to
the XForms namespace and the `ev` prefix maps to the XML Events
namespace):
<xf:model id="m">
<xf:action ev:event="foo">
<xf:message ev:event="foo"
>Hello, <xf:output value="event('name')"/></xf:message>
<xf:setvalue ref="event('context')/name" value="event('name')"/>
</xf:action>
</xf:model>
<!-- ... -->
<xf:dispatch name="foo" target="m">
<xf:property name="context" value="instance('other')/context"/>
<xf:property name="name" value="@name"/>
</xf:dispatch>
