[DFDL-WG] is this legal

[Mike Beckerle]

I can't find clarity on this:

<sequence>
   <element name="foo" type="int" dfdl:lengthKind="explicit"
dfdl:length="1"/>
    <element name="bar" type="int" dfdl:lengthKind="explicit"
dfdl:length="1"/>
   <element name="foo" type="int" dfdl:lengthKind="explicit"
dfdl:length="1"/>
   <element name="bar" type="int" dfdl:lengthKind="explicit"
dfdl:length="1"/>
</sequence>

Is this allowed?

If so, then the XPaths for accessing the 2nd foo would be foo[2], and the
path "foo" would be ambiguous or
could be treated as identifying an array. In which case one could do an
expression dfdl:occursCount("foo") and get back 2 ??

Or am I completely missing the boat here?
