General Questions on Forms Builder

>> 1. When will Orbeon XForms Builder be able to handle complex schema
>> types?

>> 2. When will Orbeon XForms Builder be able to store XML tagged data
>> into the eXist database (or other) instead of the generic tags like
>> "control-1" which have the user supplied content within the
>> "control-1" angle brackets? Building XForms using Orbeon the
>> traditional way creates XML documents that have true XML element tags
>> that correspond to the "Labels" names.
>
> You can already do this: go to the control properties, and enter a
> different id for the control. The id will be used as the element name.
>
>> 3. To store true XML documents with true element tags that correspond
>> to "Label" names, will we ever be able to use Orbeon XForms Builder?

> The user selects an Agency from a code list.  An agency has 1 or more
