Invalid html in orbeon, please fix

Is there any movement in fixing the bad and invalid html that orbeon  
generates today. It is full with inline elements like spans containing  
blocklevel elements and too much element all together. Is anybody  
working on this or even aware of the problem.

I am trying to intergrate orbeon in a valid xhtml1.0 transitional site  
and sure don't like what it gives me.


Cheers,

Wilfred,

Re. the issue of inline containing block, I assume you are referring  
to the issue of <span> elements produced by <xforms:group>?

One issue is that <xforms:group> can be used for both inline and block  
scenarios. So we picked <span> to represent xforms:group as this just  
works with all major browsers. This has never been a problem in the  
past AFAIK but still it would be good to find a general solution to  
this. I have entered an RFE to track this:

   http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313974&group_id=168&atid=350207

Now if you are looking for a quick fix in your application, you could  
modify RESOURCES/config/theme-plain.xsl, or create another theme  
stylesheet, and replace all xhtml:span[tokenize(@class, '\s+') =  
'xforms-group'] with xhtml:div elements.

I have also entered a bug for the issue of "too many elements" with  
checkboxes and radio button:

   http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313975&group_id=168&atid=350207

In this case though, I don't think modifying the XHTML produced in the  
theme will do, as the client-side JS assumes a specific hierarchy. But  
Orbeon Forms is open source and if you can work towards improving this  
it would be great.
