Trying to do my part.

I would bring this issue up with the xforms working group.
I think it raises security issues if it is "easy" to
change an action.

Of course, it's not really a problem for your server-side
code, and javascripted code is already vulnerable,
so, yes, I suppose this might be a case where AVT
would work, but I don't recall at what stage they
are evaluated.  So, perhaps yes, AVT for xform
elements, evaluated when the element is processed.

Cheers,
Hank
