Error types

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xformsusers/2025Jul/att-0000/error-types.html

Steven: [Goes over the detils of the document]

Steven: Should every error have an error-type?

Erik: And is it useful?
… it might be work for nothing

Steven: So you get "binding-error" and nothing else

Steven: error-type is useful for submit-error
… but that is a dynamic error

Steven: ... maybe non fatal errors, that can be caught, should have an error-type

Erik: How about error message?

Steven: Several errors have them

Erik: I need to look at specific cases.

Steven: I'm hearing that the top-level philosophy is that there doesn't need to be an error-type unless there is some utility

Steven: some questions
… @model on <action> is different from every other @model error

Erik: It's OK

Steven: I think the error requirement in the nonnormative section must be moved to the recalculate section
… (of -compute- section)

Steven: Are we OK with how instances react to a link not being traversable?

Erik: Why are we using two different errors?

Steven: link is fatal, submit isn't

Steven: Leave as is?

Erik: It makes sense.
