Re: Strange code in CForms Binding

While looking through the cforms binding code I found at some places
code like this:
if (convertorEl != null) {
 String datatype = DomHelper.getAttribute(convertorEl, "datatype");
 String localeStr = convertorEl.getAttribute("datatype");
 if (!localeStr.equals("")) {
   convertorLocale = I18nUtils.parseLocale(localeStr);
 }
 convertor = assistant.getDatatypeManager().createConvertor(datatype,
convertorEl);
}
Now it seems that a locale informations is read from the datatype,
but as the datatype is not a correct locale information, always the
default locale is used (inside parseLocale()).
So, is this a typo?
 

Definitely :-)
I never used that feature (as it is broken anyway), but it should allow 
to specify the local to be used to bind typed values to their string 
representation in a target XML document (e.g. floating point numbers).

So this should be convertorEl.getAttribute("locale")
