[Xsltforms-support] XLSForms and XSLTForms: the default uuid() and how best to handle it

[pedro w. <ped...@go...>]

Dear colleagues

I realise that we can use the XLSForms ( http://xlsform.org/ ) editor to
create XForms that will work with XSLTForms (there is going to be acronym
hell here), but the XSLForms automatically creates a bind for a uuid
element and uses a function "uuid()".  How can this best be implemented in
XSLTForms so that I can bring in an XLSForm XForm without any editing?

I show an illustration of XLSForms output below

Many thanks

Peter
