How to Populate xml element attributes with Orbeon XForms

Hope this is not a dumb question:
Can you and/or how do you populate xml element attributes with Orbeon XForms?
Usually you have an input like:
<xforms:input ref="DocID">
      <xforms:label class="doc-label">Doc1</xforms:label>
</xforms:input>
that asks for the element content to be filled in to end up with<DocID>Doc1</DocID>.
How would you fill in a necessary attribute to end up with:
<DocID type="internal">Doc1</DocID>
?

Thanks
Randy

Hi Randy,
To reference an attribute in XPath, you use "@".
For your example it would be "DocID/@type".

ref is xpath, so theoretically ref="DocID/@type"
