2. Output as anchor
The current Chiba provides this necessary functionality with the
non-standard output/@appearance='anchor'.
Extensions to appearance are allowed under XForms 1.0, but they must be
qualified names. So, to be valid Xforms this appearance attribute value should be
output/@appearance='chiba:anchor'.
It may make more sense to implement this function as
output/@mediatype='image/*' from the XForms 1.1 proposal.
Leigh,

think you're meaning output/@mediatype="text/html" here? A typo?

Joern


Implement partial Xlink support on output with
output/@xlink:type='simple' when there is no xlink:href present.
This idea is due to Kenneth Sklander, and is based on the Xlink
recommendation, which lists xlink:type as the only required attribute.

XLink purists may object that a link without a lexically visible URI is
not discoverable; however, it is at least declared as a link, and I
doubt they would be happy with @appearance="chiba:anchor" declaring
something to be a link.

I have also proposed to Mozilla Xforms that they implement Kenneth's
interpretation of XLink, as their user agent also has partial XLink
support.  I don't see any interaction with the XForms recommendation
here, as foreign namespaced attributes are already allowed, so I believe
that this is ready to go.

In html-form-controls.xsl change

            <xsl:when test="@xforms:appearance='anchor'">
to
            <xsl:when test="@xforms:appearance='anchor' or
(@xlink:type='simple' and not(@xlink:href))">
