[DFDL-WG] Question re: dfdl:property element and element form

[Steve Hanson]

No, you can use element form wherever you can specify a DFDL property, 
subject to the restrictions in section 7.1.3.   The use of dfdl:format in 
the spec to illustrate element form is just an example.

Ref. DFDL v1.0 (Jan 31, 11'), section 7.1.3.2 (Property Binding Syntax: 
Element Form):

I interpret from the reading that dfdl:property is child of dfdl:format, 
and implicitly that this form is necessary for element form
binding of dfdl attributes (properties).

Can I then infer that dfdl:format is the only dfld element that can use 
element form to  specify properties (attributes) for itself?

Thanks in advance.--
