[DFDL-WG] regex dialect considered too loose in spec

[Steve Hanson]

IBM DFDL does not yet support lengthKind or testKind 'pattern' but when we 
do our intent is to use ICU's regex (
http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings/regexp)

In a recent review meeting, a lot of discomfort was expressed by otherwise 
enthusiastic DFDL supporters, about our vagueness about regex-dialect 
accepted by DFDL.

What regex dialect is used by each of the IBM implementations (C/Java)? 
Are they compatible?
