You are correct, it is not "produced" by anything besides the template author. It's simply a styling hint, much like fi:group, which is handled entirely by the XSLT. Unfortunately this means that it is never included in the AJAX browser- update XML since there's nothing to ensure it's wrapped in a <bu:update> element. (Hmm, would manually wrapping it in a <bu:update> in the template do the trick? I wonder. It would definitely need an id attribute though.) I think there's a definite usefulness in having it AJAX-enabled, so perhaps it needs to be handled further upstream, e.g. in FormsTemplateTransformer. Should it become an ft-namespaced element instead like <ft:validation-errors id="someId" />? Thoughts? I'm willing to take a whack at putting together a patch, with guidance. --Jason
