Of course. I understand it, as significant changes were made for 0.5.0 
release. The most notorius is that sometimes adding fields results in block 
fields without the matching entry (Or it was in the other way?)

I found the answer in the "location" example, into the Forms source package:

<field name="state" field="state" fk_description="description"
             fk_key="state" fk_source="validator">

That didn't come in Windows' package, so I didn't see it until I did a 
proper, from source Linux instalation.

I also tried this:

      <field name="state" field="state" fk_description="description"
             fk_key="state" fk_source="validator">
        </field>
      <field name="statedesc" field="state" fk_description="description"
             fk_key="state" fk_source="validator">
[...]
      <label name="Label_2" text="State" c:x="12" c:y="1"/>
        <entry block="county" field="state" rows="10" c:width="2" c:x="12" 
c:y="
2"/>
      <entry block="county" field="statedesc" rows="10" style="dropdown"
             c:width="10" c:x="15" c:y="2"/>

Is this correct?
