2. Nils and Defaults during unparsing
The table 17 in section 13.16.2 was corrected in draft 40 but here are
still some ambiguities, for example when nil is the default.
Logical Value
nilValueInitiatorPolicy
Has default value specified
missingValueInitiatorPolicy
initiator region contains
content region contains
Nil
(implies nillable)
prohibited
don't care
don't care
empty
representation of nil based on nilKind, nilValue, etc.
required
initiator string
"" (empty string)
Note that this implies that the element type is xs:string
don't care
prohibited
empty
empty string
required
initiator string
a non-nil non-empty-string value
don't care
don't care
initiator string
The representation of the logical value
Not supplied
don?t care
Yes
(non-empty sting)
don't care
Initiator string
The representation of the default value.
Yes
(empty string)
prohibited

initiator string

3 dfdl:choiceKind
The main issues are:
a) The calculation of the length of the longest branch is not obvious.
b) The length units to use - the dfdl:lengthUnits property does not exist
on a choice
c) The name could be better
Proposal is therefore to retain the property but to:
i) State the conditions that must apply to use this property, and enforce
them in the validator => schema definition error otherwise
ii) Decouple the choice from its parent by calculating the length of each
branch based solely on the properties of the branches components,
irrespective of any parent dfdl:lengthKind
4 DFDL time functions
fn:timezone-from-dateTime
Returns the timezone from an xs:dateTime value.
fn:timezone-from-date
Returns the timezone from an xs:date value.
fn:timezone-from-time
Returns the timezone from an xs:time value.
Function
Meaning
fn:adjust-dateTime-to-timezone
Adjusts an xs:dateTime value to a specific timezone, or to no timezone at
all.
fn:adjust-date-to-timezone
Adjusts an xs:date value to a specific timezone, or to no timezone at all.
fn:adjust-time-to-timezone
Adjusts an xs:time value to a specific timezone, or to no timezone at all.
All return an xs:duration. Do we need these functions?
