Yes, and I was hoping to use the concept of extended attributes to add
this information to my xpdl.

I had a look at the xsd for xpdl and found out that you can't specify
extended attributes for formal parameters. Maybe I put the presentation
info into an extended attribute of the application with references to
the variables. The XForms-language could be helpful in this respect.

Yes it does. I could adopt some parts of their specs e.G. using the same
names for form controls such as "select1" or "textarea".
