Steven: Any remarks?

Erik: Seems fine.

Alain: A use case with <group>
… with no binding

Steven: The same would be true of trigger

Steven: So how should we describe that?
… "If there is no binding, the property applies to the control"?

Erik: How would the processing model work then?

Alain: The properties on the control don't modify the properties of the node

Steven: So the suggestion is that the properties on the control only refer to the control, and do not affect the node if there is a binding, but combine with the properties of that node

<ebruchez> <input ref="a" relevant="false()"/>

<ebruchez> <input ref="a"/>

<input ref="a" relevant=". > 0"/>

Steven: So if a is relevant and > 0 then the whole thing is relevant; if a is < 0 it is not relevant, and if a is not relevant then neither is the input.

Alain, Erik: Yes

ACTION: Steven to update properties on controls

Steven: And do we agree that the combination rules are the same? Eg no whitespace on the control if there is one on the node?

https://www.w3.org/community/xformsusers/wiki/XForms_2.0#Restrictions

Erik: Does it even make sense to have @whitespace on controls?
… inituitively it does.
… but whitespace is more like a calculate.

Steven: My original question was about the rules for combinations.

Erik: Keep the logic, wven though there are some combinations that looks OK, for whitespace
