Clarification needed for insert that replaces instance document element
In the insert action [1], the wording
of point 8 does not clearly enough support the example of Appendix B.12
[2]

[2] http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/specs/XForms1.1/index-diff.html#insert-delete-patterns-replace-instance
In bullet 8, it says "If the target
location was the root element of an instance, then the cloned node replaces
the instance root element."
This wording handles what happens when
the context attribute is used to indicate the root node of the instance,
which is the parent of the root element of the instance.
However, when the nodeset binding is
used to indicate the root element of the instance, as is done in appendix
B.12, the target location actually resolves to a point before or after
the root element in the child list of the root node.
To accommodate both cases, the sentence
in bullet 8 should say: "If the parent node of the target location
is the root node of the instance, and the cloned node is an element, then
the instance root element is deleted before the cloned node is inserted."
