However, until browsers with a reasonable XForms support dominate, XSL transformation to HTML forms + a bunch of clever JavaScript will certainly be part of many projects. That's what I worry about. Furthermore, I fear that it will give people the impression that XPath is the way to go for references even for vocabularies whose processing model hardly warrants a custom processor. > From what I can tell, it's perfectly possible for XForm authors to use > IDs to identify particular elements in the instance if they want to, > and then use the id() function to refer to them. That's neat. J.Pietschmann
