I've already answered your question about this. There is no bug we can
fix here. It simply cannot work with a value-editor() or any other
built-in ``form control'' generated by the CSS.
XXE bindings work only in the document view. value-editor() creates an
``alien island'' within the document view where XXE bindings no longer
apply.
