I wasn't sure where to publish some comments on my first experiences 
with XForms. However, as some already asked questions about it here, I 
thought I could join.

After playing around with an example that used xsd:decimal I tried 
altering it to xsd:language and see if that worked:


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
       xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <style type="text/css">
   /* Yes, that is one ugly hack. */
   @namespace xforms url("http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms");
   xforms|*[invalid] input { background-color: red; }
  </style>
  <xf:model>
   <xf:instance>
    <test xmlns="">
     <foo>en</foo>
    </test>
   </xf:instance>
   <xf:bind nodeset="/test/foo" type="xsd:language"/>
  </xf:model>
  <xf:input ref="/test/foo"><xf:label>Test xsd:language 
</xf:label></xf:input>
</html>


... apparently, it did not. (Also, when you change xsd:language to 
xsd:decimal in the above example it does not change to NaN or is that 
the behavior it should have?) Is this because xsd:language and possibly 
other types are not yet implemented?

I was also wondering if NaN is a valid xsd:decimal value or not. Since 
from testing it I sometimes get it back with a red background and 
sometimes not.
