[Xsltforms-support] New release: Please give it a try!

[Alain C. <ala...@ag...>]

Hello,

Please find a new release for XSLTForms at 
www.agencexml.com/1.5beta/xsltforms.zip

It has not yet been fully tested because a lot of changes have been made 
and you are welcome to locate remaining issues with your own forms.

The XSLT part has been reduced to minimal for better performance. 
Instead of parsing the XPath expressions and transforming all the XForms 
elements into HTML elements, it basically just transposes the non-HTML 
elements into sort-of custom elements: xforms:* elements become xforms-* 
elements with xf-* and ev-* attributes.

Have a look with your favorite browser debugger! Actually, authors could 
even prefer to directly write/generate forms with this new notation and 
forget about the XSLT step. You can compare two sources for the same 
form: hello.xml and hello.htm

XSLTForms Javascript classes constructors are obtaining their properties 
directly from xf-* attributes and XPath parsing is then performed.

No ids are automatically added as previously.

Extra xf-* attributes and extra xforms-* elements are used to embed 
effective HTML rendering elements, for example, xforms-body or 
xforms-repeat-item while, before, span or div elements where used.

XSLTForms classes for xforms:select and xforms:itemset had to be 
partially rewritten.

SVG support has been basically tested too.

CSS styling is not anymore based on xforms-* classes but on custom 
element names and attribute selectors. For example, the extra xf-bound 
attribute, when present, says that the XForms control is bound to a 
node, eventually a not relevant one, and the extra xf-notrelevant 
attribute can, then, be checked...

Thank you for your contribution!
