Using xforms:repeat within xforms:alert

In my XML instance data I have error messages that can be used in the
event that a binding constraint fails. There can be more than 1 reason
why a specific field may fail (possibly more than 1 constraint). So, to
workaround this, I'm trying to create an alert that displays all
potential error messages for this field. When trying to use the
xforms:repeat within the xforms:alert tag, the processor creates an
alert box with the xforms:repeat tag declaration as the body of the
alert. Are repeats not supported within alert tags? If not, does
anyone have a better way of dealing with this issue of performing
multiple validation checks against a single field and only displaying to
the user which validation failed.

Thanks for any help,

Jeremy,

See this example, which shows one way to deal with multiple alerts:
http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-sandbox/sample/alert-multiple

The trick is in the xxforms:invalid-binds() function, which returns
the ids of the xforms:bind that are invalid. Knowing those ids, you
can show a more appropriate message.
