Could you please write some documentation about how you succeeded? It 
might be added in XSLTForms Wikibook, for example.

Have you modified the transform() function so that it is looking at the 
version of the stylesheet? Could this better be considered as a global 
option to be added in config files?

Web Workers are not available in old browsers but all recent ones do 
now! I did not try to use them yet (priorities...) and I still wonder 
how they can access the XML DOM in the main page: is it a problem??

Is it that Chrome Apps allow you to link C libraries?

Is it an XPath function? When are you calling it? Before submission? 
XForms is based on validation at node level whenever a value has been 
modified: do you think that it is also compatible with SVRL?

xf:setvalue is there to set a value not to import nodes... That's why I 
added xf:setnode with the serialized XML string as parameter. In what 
context do you use parse-xml()? Which document/instance owns the 
resulting nodes?

Will be glad to look at them in details!! Is it your intent to publish 
source files independently or to fork the repository?

Thanks!
