Erik,

1) is there FB user or design documentation?

We are currently writing the Form Builder user guide. You can find what we currently have on the wiki (link below), and you'll find much more then if you come back to it one or two weeks from now.

2) when/will FB include repeated field or sections as an option?

We'd like to be able to build in the support for repeats in the next 2-3 months. But I can't make any guarantees there :).

3) the import XSD Advanced feature seems currently be a placeholder. How will
this feature work (import the XSD into the xforms:model, and name the instance
<control-x> elements, and constrain the form control attributes)?

Yes, it looks like the schema functionality is broken right now. I created this bug for tracking:

http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313772&group_id=168&atid=350207

It just imports the schema you specified. So the schema can be used to validate instances and you can use the imported simple types in <xforms:bind type="...">.

Additionally, I have noted that using the copy and paste features in FB may
produce repeated xform:binding elements causing subsequent processing errors. I
have seen some recent posts on similar errors.

Could you give us steps we can follow to reproduce this?
