As far as I recall, you only get the red X if the value doesn't match the  
node's type or constraints.

I don't understand why you are getting an X for Item, because that's a  
string; amount is an integer, and ?0 is not a valid integer value, so  
that's why you are getting it there.

To get a message to show, you need to include an <alert/> element in the  
input; for instance

    <xf:label>Amount:</xf:label><xf:alert>Must be an integer</xf:alert>

The bindings are fine. If there were a binding error, the control would  
not show up.

Hope this helps somewhat.
