Hi Hank,

To avoid the xxforms:variable, maybe you can handle the xforms-select
just outside of the xforms:select1, by adding an xforms:group around
the xforms:select1, so your context at that point is a ojoin. Then
from there write something like: <xforms:setvalue
ref="instance('pack')/pack/ml" value="ml"/>.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried it, and even if it works in this case,
trying to remove all xxforms:variables, you might end up banging your
head against walls :).
