[DFDL-WG] DFDL V1 Draft 039 is available

[Alan Powell]

All 

DFDL V1 draft 038 is available at 
https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/docman/do/downloadDocument/projects.dfdl-wg/docman.root.current_0/doc15889

There have again been many changes listed below including many editorial 
updates to make the specification more readable.
The DFDL expression language and DFDL regular expression language sections 
have been moved towards the end as they are for more advanced users.
All highlighted changes are for the changes made in this draft only and do 
not include changes made in previous drafts.

Unfortunately I have had significant problems with MS Word crashes while 
creating this draft which have resulted the formatting going haywire in 
some places. I have corrected the major problems but many minor ones still 
exist. In particular all the cross references have lost the number of the 
section they reference. This will be fixed in the next draft.

Please send comments to me by March 3rd
