Re: question to implementors: handling of initial validation

This is a real problem and we (picoforms) don't solve it (but we are not 
showing alerts as a popup but renders it as a element in the css  
layout). So if a node starts out as invalid the alert is displayed.

I wonder if we were to say that alerts are not active before a value 
change happens, then what about cases where the ui is populated by a 
submission on xforms-ready or even later in the processing?

Maybe we should have a functionality where alerts is first displayed on 
an attempt of submitting?
