All, Please consider the comments below on "XML Events 2 W3C Working Draft 16 February 2007" [1]: 1. event() function's return type --------------------------------- In [1], event() returns a node-set. In XForms 1.1 CR, event() returns an object [2]. Practically, it can return at runtime node-set, string, and number objects. Please make this consistent with XForms 1.1 by allowing a return type of object. 2. Ability to register multiple events with the @event attribute ---------------------------------------------------------------- It is often useful to register the same handler for multiple events. The @event attribute is defined as a QName, therefore not including spaces. My request is to extend the content of the @event attribute to support a space-separated list of QName, with the meaning of listening to more than one event type. Example with XForms: <xforms:action ev:event="xforms-valid xforms-invalid"> ... 3. Ability to register multiple observers with the @observer attribute ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Similarly, it is useful to attach a handler to multiple observers. My request is to extend the content of the @observer attribute to support a space-separated list of IDREF, with the meaning of attaching the handler as an observer to more than one location. Example with XForms: <xforms:action ev:event="xforms-value-changed" ev:observer="trigger1 trigger2"> ... 4. Ability to register multiple targets with the @targetid attribute -------------------------------------------------------------------- Similarly, it is useful to specify a match for multiple targets. My request is to extend the content of the @ targetid attribute to support a space-separated list of IDREF, with the meaning of checking on more than one target. Example with XForms: <xforms:action ev:event="xforms-value-changed" ev:targetid="trigger1 trigger2"> ...
