HI Alain
Thank you for your helpful reply. I have also been in touch with the
XSLForms development team about the "select1" issue as a nodeset type, and
the appropriate action is to correct that application. I will see what can
be done with them. I will cover the default namespace for instances there
too.
The uuid() function would be helpful. This is included as an
application-specific function in Orbeon, under their xxf: namespace afaik,
and it would be a common convenience function between XSLTForms, Orbeon and
the ODK XSLForms.
I think that the XSLForms ( https://github.com/XLSForm/pyxform ) approach
could be very helpful to introduce teams gently into XForms. The graphical
interface in PurcForms (https://github.com/dkayiwa/purcforms) is another
helpful tool that can serve a similar purpose.
Many thanks for your amazing work
Peter
