<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Precedence is from top to bottom recursively,
so the top priority is dfdl:inputValueCalc, then dfdl:byteOrder, then dfdl:encoding,
then it's children top to bottom, then dfdl:occursKind (you get the idea).
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 color=#800080 face="sans-serif"><b>Questions arising:</b></font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Does dfdl:escapeScheme apply when dfdl:lengthKind
= <i>endOfData</i> ?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Confirm that only signed logical number
can have a signed rep, and only unsigned logical number can have an unsigned
rep ? (change from spec 028 to 030)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Should dfdl:terminator, dfdl:separator
and dfdl:occursSeparator be lists (to handle alternative delimiters) ?
(viz dfdl:nullValues)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Why isn't dfdl:nullIndicatorIndex
encompassed by dfdl:nullIndicatorPath ?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Use of enum '<i>xpath</i>' for dfdl:nullKind.?
We've used "<i>explicit</i>" elsewhere and decorated syntax
to indicate xpath for other properties. For nullKind maybe a better enum
would be "<i>external</i>" or "<i>remote</i>" ?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- The advanced text delimiter supplement
needs revision - most of its content appears to be in the core. Main question
is on prefix v infix v postfix separators and how that capability is to
be specified.</font>
