307420 - Fix inner binds

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: XForms, defect)

Description

[Allan Beaufour]

Right now, we use the resolution agreed to by the WG some time ago, which was
that inner binds should just return the empty nodeset. That was (imho)
unfortunately reversed/revised so that binds also should use the context node of
the enclosing element.

I am working on a fix for this.  Will post patch and test-case when done.

Hmm. The conclusion is that it is undefined for 1.0. I propose that we leave it as is for now, and then reopen this when it actually gets designed or there is broad processor concensus about how it should work for 1.0

I'm wontfix'ing this. I guess there will be a resolution for how this should work in XForms 1.1.
