[DFDL-WG] Multiple asserts on same object

[Steve Hanson]

What's the expected behaviour if I place the following 2 asserts on the 
same object?

<dfdl:assert>{fn:false()}</dfdl:assert>
<dfdl:assert>{fn:false()}</dfdl:assert>

Do both get evaluated, and the results 'stacked'?  Or once the first fails 
do we not bother with the second?  Spec is not clear.

My motivation is to use multiple dfdl:asserts to get me out of nested 
points of uncertainty.  I am seeing with IBM DFDL that the second is not 
evaluated.

(The order of evaluation is implementation dependent, but as they are the 
same that makes no difference.)
