[DFDL-WG] dfdl:lentgKind= 'delimited' and 'endOfParent'

[Alan Powell]

Since we extended the meaning of dfdl:lengthKind= 'delimited' to include 

'delimited' means the item is delimited by the item?s terminator (if 
specified) or an enclosing construct?s separator or the end of the 
enclosing construct designated by its known length or its terminator. 

 the only difference with dfdl:lentghKind='endOfParent' is that  the 
latter includes the 'end of the data stream'.

We should either

Add 'end of data stream' to delimited and remove 'endOfParent'
Make 'endOfParent' be specifically for only  'end of data stream'
