By definition, it *is* a mapping into the URI space! But I do feel it
would be very helpful if there were an easy way to use forms to build
arbitrary URIs. Something like this would be useful:

I haven't formally asked for support for this in XForms because it is
not fair to add requirements so late.

Nevertheless, that's just a question of how much flexibility the server
has in mapping to URIs, not whether it is doing so. It is.
