[DFDL-WG] optional whitespace entity

[Tim Kimber]

I assume that you meant to write dfdl:initiator="%WSP*;"

That will match zero or more whitespace characters. It will match and 
consume any leading white space before the element, and it will never fail 
to match.

<xsd:element name="Day" dfdl:lengthKind="delimited" dfdl:initiator="WSP*">
 
Will this element match if the initiator is not found (that is, even if 
there is not a space before element?  TIA--
