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