[DFDL-WG] Alternate Initiators?

[Steve Hanson]

See the property description in the DFDL spec for dfdl:initiator. It can 
be a space-separated list (there are several DFDL properties like this).

Consider the following IMF headers:
 
Message-ID: 
<CACQ76nh2VDypuwm1aHc1-s8ZmmyXg8XEosS6af6yurkVdT+8QQ at mail.gmail.com>
Message-Id: <208E8372-A9D9-468A-9B4B-BD97ED28F64C at garriss.org>
 
Notice the difference: 
 
    Message-ID: 
    vs 
    Message-Id:
 
Per the RFC, only the first is legal, but both are used in practice, and 
we’d like to allow either.  In our DFDL schema, “Message-ID” is an 
initiator, but suddenly we have two alternate initiators for the same 
element.
 
How we model this in DFDL?
