Re: [Xsltforms-support] Is there any way to put markup in a textarea in XSLTForms

As in other XForms implementations, xf:output 
mediatype="application/xhtml+xml" will render text containing serialized 
XML (&lt; and &gt; instead of < and >) as XHTML. Effective XHTML, 
instead of text, is not yet supported.

xf:textarea is now consistent with that: enter < (or >) and &lt; (or 
&gt;) will be written in the corresponding node as ordinary text.

A new type might be added so the control is valid only if the 
corresponding text can be parsed. Then, for submission, it would be 
serialized as XML and not as text. I already can see one restriction: 
would it be acceptable for your project not to be able to parse at 
client-side the entered markup?

Yes, I'm convinced that "real" applications will require this kind of 
controls.

XSLTForms Javascript code is not yet well protected against conflicts 
with other Javascript code...

A workload of some days is to consider.
