The attributes are attached on the basis of their legitamacy when compared to the XForms schema. If it isn't a recognized attribute then it won't get attached. This method also takes an array of XML::LibXML capable nodes and/or text data.

appendInstance ( { ATTRIBUTES }, @DATA )

Sets the instance data append of a model. This method takes a hash refernce of name => value pairs for the attributes of the model's child. The attributes are attached on the basis of their legitamacy when compared to the XForms schema. If it isn't a recognized attribute then it won't get attached. This method also takes an array of XML::LibXML capable nodes and/or text data.
