invalid html in orbeon forms

Wilfred Nas-2
I am wondering, is there any work being done in making the html of the  
orbeon forms valid.

there has been a movement towards semantic html, I guess you guys  
haven't caught up with the times yet...

Cheers,

I think you are referring to the fact that the output html contains  
div elements and
so forth.

I think one challenge for implementers is to dynamically create  
"things" within
the html page and not conflict with existing "things," in particular,
elements that have id and other attributes that XForms is supposed to  
"respect."

Orbeon Forms does give you some hooks into the generated html by  
means of
an xslt template that can be applied as a theme.  While I'm not  
completely
familiar with all the semantic rules, it seems that many of them are
up to the author, things that OF won't interfere with.

I suspect there are some other considerations, like cross-browser  
behavior
and such that require html 4.01 content type.

Regards,
Hank
