Tim

That looks great. I've made a few minor editorial changes so it can be 
dropped straight into the errata document and then the spec with no 
further tweaks. Also added that occurrences of the same member need not be 
contiguous, and replaced 'real infoset' with 'infoset implied by the 
original unordered group'. 



You didn't incorporate Mike's review comment?

"If a member element is found to have the empty representation then the 
parsing of that element must use the original value of minOccurs. In this 
example, element "b" has minOccurs="0" and if it is found with the empty 
representation then it must not be defaulted."


should perhaps be:


"If a member element is found to have the empty representation, then the 
decision about whether a default value is to be computed is based on the 
original value of minOccurs, and the count of how many other occurrences 
of that member element have been accumulated so far by the parsing. In 
this example, element "b" has minOccurs="0" and if it is found with the 
empty representation then it must not be defaulted."

I've addressed Steve last round of comments, and improved the wording of 
the introductory paragraph.
