[DFDL-WG] how to do mix of case sensitive and insensitive delimiters

I think this would also work, and allow you to use delimited scanning.

        <xs:sequence dfdl:separator="" dfdl:terminator="end" 
dfdl:ignoreCase="no">
                <xs:element name="weird" type="xs:string" 
dfdl:initiator="start" dfdl:ignoreCase="yes" dfdl:lengthKind="delimited"/>
        </xs:sequence>

I have a wierd case where the initiator wants to be case insensitive 
matching, but the terminator wants to be case sensitive.

The only way I can think of dealing with this is to use the initiator, but 
handle the length via lengthKind='pattern' to grab the value, doing 
lookahead so it will stop before the terminator.
Then an empty sequence with a case sensitive terminator to pick off that 
part of the data stream.
