[DFDL-WG] dfdl:outputValueCalc referencing itself

[Steve Hanson]

The spec currently says that the expression in dfdl:outputValueCalc must 
not refer to itself.  I am wondering if that is too restrictive. For 
example, what if I wanted to apply a simple transformation to the data 
before it is serialized, example:

<xs:element name="f1" type="xs:string" 
dfdl:outputValueCalc="{fn:upper-case(.)}" />
