Re: [XForms CR] 3.3.2 The instance Element
Hi Steven,
There is a difference in how they are
processed, and that wording difference is reflective of the processing
difference.
If the src attribute appears, then it
*will* be traversed, so if the link traversal fails, then xforms-link-exception.
The resource attribute can be provided,
but if the instance element contains inline content (or a src attribute),
then the resource uri will not be traversed. Therefore, if it *is*
traversed and the traversal fails, then xforms-link-exception.
Cheers,

The descriptions of @src and @resource differ, leading one to think that
there is a difference in how they are processed. I believe that that is
not the case, and therefore suggest making them identical.
