Looks good to me. Note that the original reason to have four different tags - 
true, false, case, default - as child elements of the switch is simply that 
there is no good way in an XML argument, to differentiate the string "TRUE" 
from a logical TRUE, or an empty string from "nothing". But your points about 
readability and consistency are quite valid.

Ok, optionset next. I tried translating the first optionset example from the 
"primary" documentation into rkwarddev. This is what I got:

firstname <- rk.XML.input ("Given name(s)")
lastname <- rk.XML.input ("Family name")
genderselect <- rk.XML.radio ("Gender", options = list ("Male"=c(val="m"), 
Female=c(val="f")))

rk.XML.optionset (
	content = list (rk.XML.optiondisplay (), rk.XML.row (firstname, lastname, 
genderselect)),
	optioncolumn = list (
		rk.XML.optioncolumn("firstnames", connect=firstname, modifier="text"),
		rk.XML.optioncolumn("lastnames", connect=lastname, 
modifier="text"),
		rk.XML.optioncolumn("genders", connect=genderselect)
	)
)

Perhaps you want to add this as a code example. The generated code was correct 
for this. I did not test extensively, beyond this. However, I did try a few of 
parameters, and the ones I tested worked correctly, too.

Regards
Thomas
