xform:model location in document?

Couple of quick questions (this is for ops 3.x):
- is it mandatory for the <xforms:model> element to be located in the document header or can they appear anywhere?
- if the above is true, must the <xforms:model> be a direct child of the html <header> element or can it be at any level like in:
<header> <meta ...> <xforms:model> ... </xforms:model> </meta> </header>
thanks

Re: xform:model location in document?

Erik:
Do you know if it's possible to get an XForm instance through an Ajax like HttpRequest and then inject it in the head element and the associated form in he body element? I was thinking about simply using something like "document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(e)" where e would be the xmlResponseText to the httprequest but this seem to fail (JS does not let me append the element). I suspect this is what the orbeon xform ajax engine is doing, is there any code or docs I can look at as an example?
thanks

Actually, trying to answer my own question, would Sarissa be the right package to get xml forms in and out of the head or body?

Pascal,

It looks like you want to load an instance dynamically when the page
is loaded instead of having it defined statically in the XHTML +
XForms file. To do this, you don't need to write any JavaScript. Isn't
that good news? :)

See for instance the XForms Internationalization example. In
i18n-form.xhtml, you will see: <xforms:instance id="i18n"
src="i18n-resources"/>. This will load the instance from the
"i18n-resources". This is a relative URI which runs i18n-resources.xpl
because there is a <page path-info="/xforms-i18n/i18n-resources"
model="i18n-resources.xpl"/> in the page flow.

Pascal,

With OPS, XForms markup does not make it to the browser, where Sarissa
would run, so I don't see how this gets you anywhere. But if you explain
a little better the problem you are trying to solve, maybe we can help
you find a solution.
