Public comment: Do we need the lengthKind 'endOfParent' restriction for 
local groups? (Steve)
5/11: http://redmine.ogf.org/boards/15/topics/51. Stops such an element 
being wrapped in a local group. It looks like this was added to make 
checking easier. Really the restriction is that the element is "last in 
the box", and could in principle have surrounding intermediate sequences 
or implicit choices. Need concise language to express this.
12/11: Need language written. 
...
26/11: With Steve, no progress.

Attached is an updated version of the description for 'endOfParent', which 
attempts to make the concept clearer.
