A data form of type "form", "submit", or "result" SHOULD contain at least one <field/> element; a data form of type "cancel" SHOULD NOT contain any <field/> elements.

The <field/> element MAY contain any of the following child elements:

- +
+
<desc/>
The XML character data of this element provides a natural-language description of the field, intended for presentation in a user-agent (e.g., as a "tool-tip", help button, or explanatory text provided near the field). The <desc/> element SHOULD NOT contain newlines (the \n and \r characters), since layout is the responsibility of a user agent, and any handling of newlines (e.g., presentation in a user interface) is unspecified herein. (Note: To provide a description of a field, it is RECOMMENDED to use a <desc/> element rather than a separate <field/> element of type "fixed".)
 +
<required/>
This element, which MUST be empty, flags the field as required in order for the form to be considered valid.
 +
<value/>
The XML character data of this element defines the default value for the field (according to the form-processing entity) in a data form of type "form", the data provided by a form-submitting entity in a data form of type "submit", or a data result in a data form of type "result". In data forms of type "form", if the form-processing entity provides a default value via the <value/> element, then the form-submitting entity SHOULD NOT attempt to enforce a different default value (although it MAY do so to respect user preferences or anticipate expected user input). Fields of type list-multi, jid-multi, text-multi, and hidden MAY contain more than one <value/> element; all other field types MUST NOT contain more than one <value/> element.
 +
<option/>
One of the options in a field of type "list-single" or "list-multi". The XML character of the <value/> child defines the option value, and the 'label' attribute defines a human-readable name for the option. The <option/> element MUST contain one and only one <value/> child. If the field is not of type "list-single" or "list-multi", it MUST NOT contain an <option/> element.
 +

If the <field/> element type is anything other than "fixed" (see below), it MUST possess a 'var' attribute that uniquely identifies the field in the context of the form (if it is "fixed", it MAY possess a 'var' attribute). The <field/> element MAY possess a 'label' attribute that defines a human-readable name for the field. For data forms of type "form", each <field/> element SHOULD possess a 'type' attribute that defines the data "type" of the field data (if no 'type' is specified, the default is "text-single"); fields provided in the context of other forms types MAY possess a 'type' attribute as well.

If fields are presented in a user interface (e.g., as items in a questionnaire or form result), the order of the field elements in the XML SHOULD determine the order of items presented to the user.
