The resource element
Release 2.0 - ...
The resource element allows the URI used for a submission to be dynamically calculated based on instance data.
The URI to be used by the submission can be specified with either the value attribute or the string content of the resource element. If both are specified, then the value attribute takes precedence.
If the submission does not have a resource child element, then the submission URI is obtained from the resource attribute or the action attribute.
