Topic: Errors vs. exceptions
13:04:14 [Steven]
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Sep/0000.html
13:05:05 [Steven]
Steven: So you think we should call everything -error?
13:05:33 [Steven]
Erik: Yes
13:05:35 [Steven]
https://www.w3.org/community/xformsusers/wiki/XForms_2.0#Events_Overview
13:06:41 [Steven]
Erik: There is little backward-compatibility problem, since you can't do anything with them.
13:08:36 [Steven]
Steven: You can't keep them both since you would then have to catch both
13:09:43 [Steven]
Erik: As far as naming is concerned, I see no reason to mark the fatal ones specially.
13:10:01 [Steven]
... and I like the shorter names
13:11:41 [Steven]
... On one hand we have the events that come from the old exceptions like xforms-expression-error
13:12:00 [Steven]
.... where we stopped processing by default, but now we allow for recovery.
13:12:34 [Steven]
... to allow for more robust applications
13:13:16 [Steven]
Erik: Not sure if the default should be fatal.
13:14:18 [Steven]
Steven: I think if we changed that, forms would be less robust.
13:14:49 [Steven]
... at least the author can catch it and do something sensible.
13:15:35 [Steven]
Steven: In summary, the spec is nw as we want it, and therefore there are no actions arising from this decision

Topic: Action-1430 - Repeat with automatic controls
13:18:35 [Steven]
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2016Sep/0001.html
13:23:09 [Steven]
Erik: You always want more with repeat
13:23:16 [ebruchez]
http://doc.orbeon.com/form-runner/component/grid.html
13:23:22 [Steven]
... is the current set useful enough?
13:23:35 [Steven]
... We do this with a higher-level construct
13:24:21 [Steven]
... we can specify extra constraints
13:25:23 [Steven]
... what we do in any case should be future-prroof.
13:27:33 [Steven]
Steven: I think the proposed use cases are the basic simple ones that would make the user's life easier
13:27:48 [Steven]
Erik: Limit to number of items is a use case, and templating
13:28:08 [Steven]
... where would you get the fragment of XML that you would add?
13:28:50 [Steven]
Steven: XForms 1's method was horrible
13:29:01 [Steven]
Erik: 'origin' was a poor choice of name
13:29:30 [Steven]
... we have a template atttribute called 'origin', though 'template' makes it clearer
13:30:12 [Steven]
Steven: So you would like an attribute thatt in the case of inserts states where the template comes from.
13:30:17 [Steven]
Erik: Exactly
13:30:27 [Steven]
Steven: Ok, I'll work on that.
13:30:46 [Steven]
... we can discuss further in the email, and I will work on it further.
