Thanks Rob, rivet's documentation is something we should spend more time on. I will try to improve the form package manual.

I recently did some analysis of the code because it was my intention to extend its features to support natively new ways to initialize and build controls using dictionaries, but definitely we overlooked the problem of keeping the manual up-to-date with the latest introductions in the standards.

Hi,

since I learnt about apache rivet, I found that a few lacks in
documentation are present. Notably in the form package. Some form
objects are missing. I'd suggest to do a simple step to get it complete:
When I force an error, automatically a complete syntax listing is
printed out. See below. It is - of course - quite simple to include this
on top of the appropriate manual page.

And because some options are not documented, too: please add a reference
to e.g.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.html#input
Hm, not even textarea is listed here - but is not lacking (nobody is
perfect...):
http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/textarea.html

Regards,

Rob
