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

[Steve Hanson]

If we adopt that approach we end up with an explosion of properties. It's 
not just ignoreCase. There's encoding and its related properties too. We 
decided that encoding related properties applied per object, not per 
delimiter.

All the various solutions proposed seem so convoluted.  Why not do the 
simple and obvious?  Something like:
 
dfdl:ignoreInitiatorCase=”yes”  dfdl:ignoreTerminatorCase=”no” 
dfdl:ignoreSeparatorCase=”no”  dfdl:ignoreElementCase=”yes”

The other way to do this is 
- wrap the element in a group 
- set dfdl:ignoreCase to 'no' on the group. 
- set dfdl:ignoreCase to 'yes' on the element. 
- put the terminator on the group and the initiator on the element. 

Or the other way round if it works better that way.

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.
