[DFDL-WG] Grammar as adapted to infoset

[Steve Hanson]

Hi Mike

One extra thought post-call, caused by thinking about the FinalUnused part 
of a sequence. Some fixed length choices have a rule that each branch of 
the choice must be of equal length. This results in unused bytes for 
branches shorter than the maximum.  In a bitstream instance, a user will 
see these bytes. Perhaps the grammar should acknowledge their existence, 
even if there are no DFDL properties to express the bytes (like 
FinalUnused)?

Regards, Steve

I took a crack at this. I ripped it out of the main document for faster 
review/turnaround. 

I think this matches the latest infoset email diagram.
