none,
just had one spontanuos thought:
maybe we can reduce typing somewhat if we add those attributes by using a different namespace (rather then, the default one which seems to be so commong for attributes)
(possibly reusing 'fd', or introducing 'fa' for form-atributes)
your sample would become: <fd:field id="foo" fa:bar="baz"> ... </fd:field>
as said: just a thought
Interesting thought. It surely saves some keystrokes, but introduces yet another namespace in CForms, and I'm afraid it may confuse users.
hm, if that is the only counter-argument, then you could reuse the fd namespace, no?
after all you will be doing that now too with fd:attribute/@name,@value
So I think I'll favour clarity to terseness (remember, it's one of the 10 design goals of XML [1]).

yeah, I'm very aware (and that's why I had the thought :-))
don't you get enough of all this <>'"&/typing?
