Indeed I re-read XEP-0004 and it says: "For data forms of type "form", each <field/> element SHOULD possess a 'type' attribute that defines the data "type" of the field data (if no 'type' is specified, the default is "text-single"); fields provided in the context of other forms types MAY possess a 'type' attribute as well." So in this case how should a client do? It should remember from previous forms that a form with FORM_TYPE=jabber:bot, the field features is of type 'list-multi' to present the results ? For example in XEP-0055 (Jabber Search) there is the <reported> tag that tells the type of each fields. -- Yann
