Hi, While i also think that its probably better to write a note that says <fields> and <items> should not be mixed in the same form, i dont see a good reason why we cant use <instructions> and <title> with the reported form.
It does not add complexity and is useful to provide some context with the form. So if we limit the usage of the XEP lets not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Regards Philipp Am Di., 19.
