[DFDL-WG] Minutes from 2007-08-08 Call

[Mike Beckerle]

MikeB, Geoff Judd, Alan Powell attended.

Continued through SP's comments.

sp37 - got it.

sp45 - agree. This whole part to be rewritten.

sp115 - ok. strict and "lax" as enums. No built-in default - we never use 
defaults in the processor itself. Only in the predefined formats.

sp118 - ok

sp123 - Proposal to simplify length, lengthKind, lengthUnits, and also 
occursKind, occursPath, occursPathUnits needed. (along the lines of 
byteCount, itemCount, length='delimited' enum, etc.)

sp154 - Need specific proposal to eliminate hexBinary and use what for 
opaque (consider also string with encoding='bytes'. )  Or introduce a 
dfdl:byteString type or dfdl:opaque type. (derived type - just a standard 
name).


sp158 - see sp123

sp165 - needed to have composition property for enclosing groups and or 
end-of-data. Regexp doesn't fix this.
