Latest draft of the nils and default document incorporating comments from
last week.
As you will see I have been having problems with bulleted lists in word
which are still not correct but I assume I can fix for the spec.

Hi Alan - were you going to take the updates forward, or did you want me
to make some changes first?
Reviewed Steve's updates to the parsing and unparsing rules.
- it might be possible to simplify the nil processing in the rules by
having a defintion up front.
- 'nil indicator set' need a definition
- Discussion about whether 'usNilForDefaults' could be replaced by some
way of defining a literal, out of band value for the default.
- 'value' used when should be 'output value'
- dfdl:emptyValueDelimietrPolicy description should be moved from
defaulting section to initiator section.
- 'text markup' used in section 14.2 of spec

Re: [DFDL-WG] Fw: Fw: Action 086 Nils and Default processing
Here's my latest updates. As discussed I have reworked the 'Nils &
Defaults on parsing/unparsing' sections.
One question was thrown up. On parsing when a required complex element is
missing, we add it to the infoset as long as applying default processing
to its missing children does not cause an error. You will see I have used
the phrase 'Missing element processing is applied to all child elements.'
to cover this. But 'Missing element processing' as now spelled out in the
same section includes 'nillable and empty string' processing when the
child is simple. Does this apply here?

I have added unparsing and corrected some of the existing information in
this latest version.
I did attempt to write out the dfdl:nilValueDelimiterPolicy and
dfdl:emptyValueDelimiterPolicy options in full but it became unreadable
hence the 'as controlled by' short cut.
Links still don't work

Attached is an updated version of the nils and defaults sections of the
specification. I have only completed the parsing section so far which you
should be able to review while I am on vacation. If someone would like to
add the unparsing section that would be great.
Note that the cross references are not correct.
