[DFDL-WG] minor spec correction Appendix 33

[Steve Hanson]

Mike, the parsing and unparsing behaviour is not round trippable in this 
circumstance. While your Result gives rise to your Data, the same is not 
true the other way round.

Ok I found language which makes this clear. I'll add the example row to 
the Appendix table. 

The answer is that the / is removed.

So a row needs to say Data = "........................"  Result = 
"............/........."

I'd like to confirm understanding of a particular simple case of escape 
sequences.

Suppose the escape character is "/"

Suppose the delimiter is ";".

If the data stream contains abcd/efgh then does the logical data retain, 
or remove the escape character? (or cause an error?)

This is the case where the escape character isn't escaping anything, so 
the question is whether its special status as escape character is therefor 
ignored, treating it as a constituent character, or it is some sort of 
error we detect.

I was surprised to not find this as row 2 of the table in Section 31.1.

These tables are awesomely useful, but very badly labelled.

Columns Data and Result should be labeled "Logical Data" and "Physical 
Data".
