As I hope the long awaited Simple Logicsheet Languare (SLL) will
realize soon youdon't have to worry about it. Every form will be
accepted by SLL and you only write something like

   <sll:element name="fp:read">
     <sll:parameter name="as" required="true"/>
     <sll:parameter name="form" required="true"/>
     ...
   </ssl:element>

Am I right, Ricardo?

Giacomo
