[Xsltforms-support] Nill elements in XML result in failing validation

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Nill elements in XML fail validation for some reason. See example below:

<?xml-stylesheet href="xsltforms/xsltforms.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<?xsltforms-options debug="yes"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
      xml:lang="nl" lang="nl">
  <head>

  <title>Test</title>

  <xf:model id="overzicht">
    <xf:instance id="selectiescherm">
      <root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <date />
        <date xsi:nil="true"></date>
        <date xsi:nil="true" />
        <date></date>
        <date>2010-01-01</date>

        <bool />
        <bool xsi:nil="true"></bool>
        <bool xsi:nil="true" />
        <bool></bool>
        <bool>true</bool>
        <bool>false</bool>

        <number />
        <number xsi:nil="true"></number>
        <number xsi:nil="true" />
        <number></number>
        <number>1.23</number>
      </root>
    </xf:instance>
    <xf:bind nodeset="/root/date" type="xsd:date" />
    <xf:bind nodeset="/root/bool" type="xsd:boolean" />
    <xf:bind nodeset="/root/number" type="xsd:decimal" />
  </xf:model>

  </head>
  <body>
    <hr />
    <xf:repeat nodeset="/root/date">
      <xf:input ref=".">
        <xf:label>Date</xf:label>
      </xf:input>
      <br/>
    </xf:repeat>
    <hr />
    <xf:repeat nodeset="/root/bool">
      <xf:input ref=".">
        <xf:label>Boolean</xf:label>
      </xf:input>
      <br/>
    </xf:repeat>
    <hr />
    <xf:repeat nodeset="/root/number">
      <xf:input ref=".">
        <xf:label>Number</xf:label>
      </xf:input>
      <br/>
    </xf:repeat>
  </body>
</html>

The code above will show all elements formatted with only the last one
(with a valid value) of the sets not failing the validation. It would
be nice if XSLTForms would support the xsi:nill attibute. Is this a
bug or something else?

Thx,
