[DFDL-WG] minor errata? "out-of-band" handling

[Steve Hanson]

Mike, I think we might be interpreting out-of-band differently. I simply 
read it as 'out-of-type' (eg, I use 'NIL' for an integer) and I think you 
are reading it as 'out-of-line' (eg, nil indicator in another part of the 
data).  By all means change the phrase to make it clear that it is the 
former.

Regards

The spec mentions DFDL has "out-of-band" handling in section 1.

A long time ago we dropped out-of-band nil handling from DFDL v1.0. This 
comment in section 1 feels like it was not excised at that time and should 
be dropped.
