I think that it is important to let know that a file is about to be 
read/written in a folder and that it is still possible to abort this.

I don't want to include in XSLTForms an applet that would permit anyone 
to crash a system.

The default behavior is to propose the last file name which was used. 
You want to change this with your own file name, is it right?

It is already possible to enter a full name such as 
"file://test/myfile.xml" but I don't think it's a recommended notation. 
This full name will be used to initialize the file dialog box.

If so, you could also need to get the chosen fullname from the latest 
file dialog box. This is not specified in the XForms Recommendation but 
surely the event() function could be used for that. Would you like me to 
ask the W3C Forms Work Group about that?

Thanks!
