[DFDL-WG] can an initiator be terminating markup?

[Tim Kimber]

I know the answer. An initiator is never 'terminating markup'. I don't 
know whether we have made that sufficiently clear yet.

Did we do a clarification about this?

That is, when parsing for delimiters, do you scan for a subsequent fields 
initiator? I.e., can a subsequent field's initiator behave as terminating 
markup for a prior field?

I somehow think we decide the answer to this is no, but didn't find 
discussion of it or rationale.
