I've figured out what is going on here, and it is my error and it
serves as a reminder of the perils of not putting instance data in
it's own namespace.

The actual scenarion leading to the problem is

<model xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
  <instance id="biff" xmlns=''">

which takes the instance declaration out of the XForms namespace and
causes the error. Note this would not have happened if I had put my
instance data in a namespace (well I wanted to but that is not how the
data comes).

So the remaining issue is whether it is nice for XSLTForms to give a
Javascript exception in this circumstance.
