Hello Habs,
A pragmatic approach is important: XForms recommendation cannot be seen
as a definitive solution for everything. It is important to know what is
missing in it, thanks to authors feedback.
Comparing to Orbeon, XSLTForms has much less extensions... Each of them
have been analyzed in details in recommendation spirit.
The main point is how to standardize approaches. Contributions are
welcome in XForms Users Community Group
(https://www.w3.org/community/xformsusers/)!
Regards,
Alain

Hello everyone
I've been reading these enhancement suggestions (and others) and I
realise that the XForms specification allows for extensions and leaves
things open for implementation choices in some areas.
My concern -- and I am saying the following (and perhaps with no great
qualification to do so) without insinuation that XSLTForms is going
this way -- is to ask that careful consideration be paid to sticking
to XForms published standards/specification and to watch carefully
that the implementation in XSLTForms does not grow into some
application full of non-standard and/or deviated approaches to meet a
perceived shortcoming.
What are your views ?
Regards
Habs

Hi Mats,
- Allowing XSLTForms to be run as Chrome Apps, with file
save/open functionality etc.
Could you please write some documentation about how you succeeded?
It might be added in XSLTForms Wikibook, for example.
- Embedding SaxonCE library so that transform() function can run
XSLT2 transforms
Have you modified the transform() function so that it is looking
at the version of the stylesheet? Could this better be considered
as a global option to be added in config files?
- Adding @async attribute to xf:setvalue/xf:insert elements for
non-blocking evaluation of long running XPath expressions in Web
Workers
Web Workers are not available in old browsers but all recent ones
do now! I did not try to use them yet (priorities...) and I still
wonder how they can access the XML DOM in the main page: is it a
problem??
- Adding validate-with-xml-schema() function, using xmllint library
Is it that Chrome Apps allow you to link C libraries?
- Adding validate-with-schematron() function, using SaxonCE.
Useful for doing more advanced form validations using SVRL.
Is it an XPath function? When are you calling it? Before
submission? XForms is based on validation at node level whenever a
value has been modified: do you think that it is also compatible
with SVRL?
- Adding parse-xml() function, believe replacing need for xf:setnode
xf:setvalue is there to set a value not to import nodes... That's
why I added xf:setnode with the serialized XML string as
parameter. In what context do you use parse-xml()? Which
document/instance owns the resulting nodes?
Would be glad to contribute these as well as some other
extensions and performance optimizations.
Will be glad to look at them in details!! Is it your intent to
publish source files independently or to fork the repository?
Thanks!
Alain
