Date formatting diff between @ref and @value

I noticed that when rendering a xs:date() element with <xforms:output @ref=","/> versus <xformat:output @value="."/> the @ref formats the ISO date into a local date format whereas the @value does not. Erik tells me this is by design and that I need to format the @value version myself. So I looked up the doc regarding formatting and found this example which I plugged into my XFORMS-TODO example:

<xforms:output ref="when" xxforms:format ="format-date(xs:date(.), '[MNn] [D], [Y]', 'en', (), ())"/>

This produces the error: 'Control is no longer bound to a node. Cannot evaluate control display value."

I tried this variation:

<xforms:output value="when" xxforms:format ="format-date(xs:date(when), '[MNn] [D], [Y]', 'en', (), ())"/>

and it output the ISO date without formatting.

Re: Date formatting diff between @ref and @value

Hmm, that error seems to be similar to the one mentioned here: http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/ops-users/2006-09/msg00228.html

How about:

<xforms:output value="format-date(xs:date(when), '[MNn] [D], [Y]', 'en', (), ())"/>
