Erik,
Thankyou for the quick response it was quite helpful and it has
brought up some new questions and an answer or two.

What is the Scope serializer, I didn�t see that in the documentation under
serializers?

Though I should not have used the term intermediate, I was referring to
the xforms-to-xhtml.xsl label change pointed out in
http://www.orbeon.com/ois/doc/processors-xforms where it states:
An XHTML input field is generated and the label is not used, even if one
if provided on the XForms control. Say that if a label is provided, you
want to display it followed by a ":", just in front of the text field. You
can do this by modifying the above template in xforms-to-xhtml.xsl with:
��<xsl:template match="xforms:input">
�� <xsl:if test="xforms:label">
�� <xsl:value-of select="xforms:label"/>
�� <xsl:text>:</xsl:text>
�� </xsl:if>
�� <xhtml:input type="text"
name="{xxforms:encrypt-name(@xxforms:name)}" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:value}">
�� <xsl:call-template name="copy-other-attributes"/>
�� </xhtml:input>
��</xsl:template>
>> 4) Per Micah Dubinko, who contributed to the XForms specification,
>> the CSS3 entry:
>>

>> /* Display a red asterisk after all required form controls */

I should have investigated this a bit more. It seems the ::after
pseudoclass is not supported in IE anyway, but I thank you for your
suggestion, it will probably work out better your way.
Lastly, I was hoping someone might have an example that works in Orbeon of
an itemset used in a select statement. That is if the itemset CAN be used
in a select or select1 in Orbeon. I keep getting:
Expression '/form/states/state' must return an element or an attribute
Where /form/states is
<form>
<states>
<state abbr="AL">ALABAMA</state>
<state abbr="AK">ALASKA</state>
<state abbr="AS">AMERICAN SAMOA</state>
<state abbr="AZ">ARIZONA</state>
<state abbr="AR">ARKANSAS</state>
...
</states>
</form>
I understand that it has to be in the model instance since Orbeon doesn't
recognize multiple instances (a very unfortunate limitation) but it
doesn't seem to like the fact that it is more than one item either. If
this can only be used in the Repeat then that would definitely be
unfortunate.
Per http://www.orbeon.com/ois/doc/reference-xforms :
5. XForms Repeat
The XForms repeat module lets you easily create pages where XForms
controls are repeated, like an invoice made of invoice lines (with a
description, unit price, quantity), where new lines can be added, and
existing lines can be edited or deleted. Presentation Server supports the
following elements in the XForms repeat module: repeat, itemset, insert,
and delete.
