[DFDL-WG] small spec issues

[Mike Beckerle]

Jonathan Cranford reported two issues in the spec:


1.      Pages 11-12 of the draft include a sample DFDL schema for a
comma-separated format.  I asked you about this example before, and
you told me that there's no ambiguity between having a comma (,) as a
separator and as the textStandardGroupingSeparator.  I think I
understand why (there's a question on that below). Regardless of why,
though, I think that having the same character as both the separator
and textStandardGroupingSeparator is a potential point of confusion,
especially this early in the document.  So I recommend reworking the
example to avoid the appearance of ambiguity and avoid relying on the
technical workings of textNumberPattern, which hasn’t been introduced
yet.

Is this example not ambiguous because none of the textNumberPattern
attributes contain a grouping separator?  If so, couldn’t the
textStandardGroupingSeparator attribute just be removed from the
example so that others don't get confused on it like I did?



2.      Minor editorial comment - Page 15 – I think 3rd bullet should
end in period instead of a comma, for consistency with other bullets.
