[DFDL-WG] bug: calendarLanguage property can be expression, but does not say no forward references allowed.

[Steve Hanson]

Section 23.1 makes the definitive statement about when forward references 
are allowed, but it is true that expression properties also make the 
statement so yes the phrase should be added to the description of 
calendarLanguage.  It is also missing from choiceDispatchKey, and from 
setVariable.

Well, of course dfdl:outputValueCalc can also have forward reference. I 
meant all properties except this.

Every property that can be an expression needs to stipulate "The 
expression must not contain forward references to elements which have not 
yet been processed."

There are only two exceptions which are for the message of 
asserts/discriminators.

This phrase is missing for calendarLanguage.
