corrections in or related to XForms 1.1 submission module.

[Vlad Trakhtenberg]

The XForms 1.1 spec says:

a).

6.1.4 The relevant Property

Description: indicates whether the model item is currently relevant. Instance data nodes with this property evaluating to false are not serialized for submission.

This seems to ignore the relevant="false" attribute of submission.

b)

 11.2 The xforms-submit Event

...
2. If the binding attributes of submission indicate an empty nodeset or a non-element node, then submission processing is stopped after dispatching event xforms-submit-error with context information containing an error-type of no-data. Otherwise, the binding attributes of submission indicate a node of instance data.

This seem to contradict the default value of the ref attribute of submission being "/".

Thanks,

Hi Vlad,

Thanks for sending these comments.  Both have been remedied in the 1.1 recommendation, which was published today.
