Christian,
It is great that you are looking at XML data models more seriously. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Haul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Michael Homeijer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Ivelin Ivanov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Konstantin Piroumian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 9:33 AM Subject: XMLForm / instance data from XML / Popup sample > Hi all, > > I've spend some time now understanding XMLForm and I have looked at > the popup sample from Michael > http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15100 > > I couldn't find a post from Josema Alonso regarding XForms & Xindice > that appeared related.

I am really behind on this effort, so it is really nice that you will try to work out a more robust long term solution with Michael. > > If no validation is required, and only the XForms -> HTML conversion > is needed, a complete XMLForms instance is needed, still.

Can you give me an example where "only the XForms -> HTML conversion is needed". I am not sure I understand what that means.
