1) When the dfdl:initiator property is a list of values, and the data 
matches more than one value, then the longest value is the one selected. 
Example: data is aaa12345, dfdl:initiator is "aa aaa", then aaa is the 
match as it is longest. However if the data matches more than one value 
and the values have the same length, then the one that is declared earlier 
in the list is selected.

I have to say that I am struggling to come up with an example where it 
actually makes a material difference, because if it matches multiple of 
the same length, then surely they must be equivalent anyway? Maybe white 
space has an effect here. Mike Beckerle crafted these words, perhaps he 
can give an example. (Note that same words occur dfdl:terminator and 
dfdl:separator).

2) Agree, and have added to the Minor Editorial public comment on Redmine.

Hi

I need some input from you chaps on this translation query. 

Could you suggest a rephrase, or explanation of point 1? 

Point 2 I assume is a typo for precede. It's present in the spec. Can you 
confirm?

Hello, 

1)The initiator with the longest match is the one that is selected as 
having been 'found', with length-ties being resolved so that the matching 
initiator is selected that is first in the order written in the schema. 

I am afraid this string is very complex, please re-phrase it if possible 
or provide a comprehensive explanation. 

2) In the following string I could not quite understand this phrase:
'or the dfdl:escapeEscapeCharacter does not proceed the 
dfdl:escapeCharacter'. What is meant by 'proceed' here?" 

On parsing the dfdl:escapeCharacter and dfdl:escapeEscapeCharacter are 
removed from the data, unless the dfdl:escapeCharacter is preceded or the 
dfdl:escapeEscapeCharacter does not proceed the dfdl:escapeCharacter.

Thanks in advance
Oya
