Hi all, I noticed that in the description of the delete action processing : http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/specs/XForms1.1/index-all.html#action-delete in step 4 the deletion of the root [document] node itself is not explicitly 'prohibited' (or rather ignored), while the deletion of the 'root document element' of an instance is. I also think, that the similar but perhaps wider clarification statement is required with regard to namespace nodes. The spec is explicit in adopting the XPath data model, as such some XPath expressions over the instance data can easily produce namespace nodes which do not have a full DOM underpinning behind them, which, in turn, makes them [arguably] 'immutable'. I would like to propose to the working group (if it agrees with my point) to add a general statement to the spec to that effect, or at least explicitly mention them in delete, insert, setvalue, etc. actions as not fitting the bill. Regards, Vlad Trakhtenberg. IBM, Victoria Lab.
