Hi,

 I was wondering if there is a global setting somewhere that would allow orbeon forms to NOT consider blanks as valid input to "required" field. I would think this is extremely common and in most cases a series of blank does not consistute a valid input. This would avoid having to do do this:

<xforms:bind nodeset="" required="true()" constraint="string-length(normalize-space(.))>0"/>

Or am I may be missing something obvious or a better alternative?

Thanks for any feedback.
