[DFDL-WG] V3 of length/occurs simplification proposal

[Mike Beckerle]

Seems like occursStopValueKind="literal" only applies to 
representation="text". 

With that caveat, I think I agree we need to be able to say 

<element name="x" type="int" maxOccurs="unbounded" 
dfdl:occursSeparator="|" dfdl:occursKind="stopValue" dfdl:stopValue="done" 
dfdl:occursStopValueKind="literal" dfdl:representation="text"/>

Then this would be valid 3 occurences for element x.

2|3|4|done

I think we shoudl rename dfdl:stopValue to dfdl:occursStopValue for 
consistency.

Mike - looking at an old level of the spec, we had a occursStopValueKind 
property, with enums 'logical', 'literal' and 'missing'.  Analogous to 
nullvalueKInd property.  I'm sure we want to handle 'missing' differently 
but the literal v logical distinction is required. How are we proposing to 
cover this?

Based on minutes from last week's meeting I've updated to v3 the proposal 
for simplifying length/occurs properties.
