Exactly, is this thread becoming a Opera marketing ploy?

What practical use has this for Mr Joe Public?

Give me a really useful example in very simple wording!

Neither is  around table cells or list items.

Personally, I like the semantics of href on any element. "This element is a
link" seems cleaner than "Here is a link element that surrounds some other
element or text content". Assuming no one does find a backwards-compatible
way to link any element, I'd prefer going forwards with href applying to
everything.

(Note that I haven't thought about it much, though, and I do have a vague
hazy memory of not liking something about the way XHTML 2 is doing it. I
would definitely want more thought put into it than I have.)

[whatwg] Workflow and web applications

[Francisco Monteiro]

How do you get 
workflow in a Web Application using only Web Browser technology, Microsoft I 
think is the only company which will bring a workflow to the masses, Using a 
combination of Dojo widgets we can achieve something very similar see this URL 
http://showoff2.awardspace.biz/pack/pack/examples/tabswitch2.html
 
From a MVC design 
concept XForms in conjunction with XML Event (xmlns = http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" 
) becomes the controller.
 
Regarding input = 
country, you can have XForms select1 control with type =open, the control 
supports nodeset which can be downloaded via "services" or use XInclude to bring 
in the countries set.

[whatwg] Writing Web MVC applications using Xforms as the controller

[Francisco Monteiro]

Ever dreamt of 
easily writing your own controls using state of the art frameworks like Yahoo!, 
Dojo, Google, Backbase etc, light weight schema processing, template processing, 
many other features which I think XForms is truly lacking (BTW it is Xforms 1.0+ 
compliant). It is very easy to prototype using this 
prototype!
 
Look no further, at 
the following location you will see a subset of the implementation 
capability
 
1) http://showoff2.awardspace.biz/pack/pack/examples/address.html
A full blown 
template control, template processing done using Dojo and Trimpath and data type validation 
(supports all W3C schema types). Partial support for Schematron 
processing!
 
2) http://showoff2.awardspace.biz/pack/pack/examples/tabswitch.html
A very easy way to 
get tab switch, none of the trickery relating to css bla blah. Uses widgets from 
TurboAjax
 
3) http://showoff2.awardspace.biz/pack/pack/examples/dojo2Xforms.html
 
Straight Dojo off 
the shelf widgets used as XForms controls
 
Present repeat  it in a "page view", the demo can 
be found at this URL
http://showoff2.awardspace.biz/pack/pack/examples/dojoRepeat.html
 
When 
@appearance=page, the control automatically presents the user with a set of 
buttons to view the set. If you see all 20 pages then reduce size of browser 
window, presentation is automatically adjusted to maximise the user 
presentation. Every thing on the page is customisable with CSS (control is 
really a Dojo Widget, so style is applied and can be customised by user). Do a 
view source to see how presentation is performed, click "View ASIN 
features".
 
At this URL http://showoff2.awardspace.biz/pack/pack/examples/dojoRepeatTable.html is 
an example displaying repeat in table mode, well actually it uses the @repeat- 
attributes on html table, but something like this is very useful for Joe public 
who is more familiar with tables then CSS (that's includes 
me!)
 
Want to try 
your hand at using this implementation, send me an email. If you encounter any errors please reload forms demo 
running on a slow server!
