Nope, *you* read the manual. :-)

The statement given by the original poster is perfectly valid and
acceptable. It allows XForms to continue to manage events even if
some objects do not have callbacks. What it does is simply return
control to XForms's event loop if and when an object with no callback
is activated.

Bear in mind that not all interactive objects necessarily need
callbacks. For instance, Input fields may not have to be processed
until some other action takes place, such as pressing an "Okay" or
"Go" button. The callback for the button can read out the contents of
the input fields and process them.
