Orbeon Forms Tutorial - Error at step 5.3

I have been trying to follow the Orbeon Forms Tutorial in the most  
recent nightly builds and encountered trouble within the Bookcast  
tutorial at step 5.3. Pardon my uninformed error reporting, as I am  
not well educated on Orbeon or XForms (hence the tutorial).

In the Orbeon Tutorial at the end of step 5.3, the reader is  
instructed to insert an xforms:model in the head of a standard XHTML  
document which was created and tested in step 5.2, then reload to see  
that there is no change (actually, the documentation says "You should  
still see a blank page", but the document should contain "Hello!").  
The contents of the document at this stage is attached as "view.xhtml".

In current nightly build versions of Orbeon XForms (including  
orbeon-3.7.0beta1+.200903070126), this generates an error. A PDF of  
the errors returned is attached, as I am not certain how to interpret  
them.

I have discovered that this error occurs whenever an XForms model is  
inserted in a document where no XForms markup is present in the body  
of the document. Adding an XForms element (such as substituting  
<xforms:output value="'Hello!'"/> for the "Hello!" text) resolves the  
error. (The contents of a working version with this change is attached  
as "view-corrected.xhmtl"

I am going to try to continue with the tutorial, but wanted to report  
my difficulty.

Thanks,

-Michael D. Moore

This is a known problem in the current nightly builds. Getting this  
fixed is one of our 3 top-priority bugs.  I have included a ling to  
the bug report for reference below. In the meantime, you can put a  
simple XForms control in the view to avoid this problem (a simple  
<xforms:group/> will do it).
