The formval logicsheet features "on-XYZ" tags, which are evaluated
only, if condition XYZ is true.

Internationalization would be more difficult to achieve this way.
Besides, I like to use the formval logicsheet as a building block for
my own custom logicsheet. E.g. I like red stars behind a field that is
required or does not conform with the expected format. For this I use
<dvs-form:input type="checkbox" name="os" value="macosX"/> MacOS X<br/>
and
<xsl:template match="dvs-form:input">
<input>
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsp:attribute name="value">
<xsp-request:get-parameter>
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="default"><xsl:value-of
select="@default"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsp-request:get-parameter>
</xsp:attribute>
</input>
<xsp-formval:on-error>
<xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></xsl:attribute>
<font color="red">*</font>
</xsp-formval:on-error>
</xsl:template>
