[DFDL-WG] v4 on length/occurs simplification proposal

My initial reaction is that 'maximum' is too close to 'maxOccurs'.
 
'Fill' is concise and meaningful, but a little to general.
'fillContainer' might be considered, but it's not specific about which
container is to be filled.
'fillEncloser' would address that, but sounds forced.
'fillParent' is my favourite at the moment.

	How's lengthKind="maximum" sound for the "endOfData" fitting
into a box thing? Other possibilities in this doc:
