Subject: Use of XForms namespace
Hello all, I was asked to check whether our use of the XForms namespace is correct, since I submitted the XForms proposal while I was still in the TC. Well, mostly it is. In particular: - <xforms:model> (chapter 11.2): OK. - xforms:bind (chapter 11.4.3): OK. - xforms:submission (chappter 11.3.11): Not OK. Hence, I would like to ask the TC to rename the xforms:submission attribute to form:xforms-submission. Why is xforms:bind OK, while xforms:submission is not? XForms is designed to be embedded into other formats. The xforms:bind considered part of the 'interface' of the XForms model, in order to allow a host language to reference into the XForms model. Hence, a namespaced, global version of the attribute exists. In contrast, the submission attribute is considered part of the XForms UI, and is not intended to be used independently. Hence, the XForms WG does not want to make a global xforms:submission attribute which we could use, and we should use an OOo-specific attribute to refer to an submission. Btw, the usage of xforms:bind will be explicitly clarifed in an erratum to the XForms spec. Thanks! Sincerely, Daniel
