Again, time and energy are highly constrained for XForms 1.1. I suggest 
that if this is an issue that you think is that important, you come back 
with a concrete proposal for the working group to consider. That 
proposal should clearly highlight the problem that is being solved and 
the solution proposed. Now that would be constructive.

I meant: a good reason *not* to add the @value attribute.
