Binding on <switch/>

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2025Apr/0005

[Steven reads the email]

Steven: <switch/> doesn't have the UI children

Erik: It could have
… either consider switch to never have a UI, just to switch the content, or say, there's no reason it shouldnt behave as a special kind of group

Erik: I prefer the second

Alain: Agree

ACTION: Steven to make switch more like a group

Topic: Error for mismatched properties

Error for mismatched properties

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2025Apr/0006

Steven: My question is really, are you ok with it still being a bind-error

Erik: I'm OK

Alain: Agree

Controls that read simpleContent instance data

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2025Apr/0007

Alain: Using @value would be a workaround

Erik: I think Orbeon does something different from the spec
… I don't see a problem with binding to something with children

Erik: Output also works with text/html
… then you would want to look at the children nodes

Steven: I conclude from that section that controls that write to an element with children is allowed, but the setvalue action says otherwise.

Erik: input shouldn't be allowed to bind to elements with children

Steven: Maybe the line that I'm talking about should be about *writing* not *reading*.

Erik: I'm OK with making an exception for output, but otherwise leave it as is.

ACTION: Steven to come up with suggestions for binding restrictions

ACTION: Steven MIPs on controls

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2025Apr/0008

Alain: I'd like more time to read it.
