[DFDL-WG] Spec correction ? - Section 9.3.2.1 - second list missing "empty" representation

9.3.2.1

First numbered list. It's implicit, as is the non-reference to 
nilValueDelimiterPolicy for nil rep. 
Second numbered list. Should not mention empty - can't be empty as not 
zero length.

Don't understand what you mean by empty rep is non-zero length. We are 
talking about the content region only here.

In section 9.3.2.1, there are two numbered lists. 

The first numbered list should qualify its mention of "empty 
representation" with "(when the emptyValueDelimiterPolicy and initiator 
and terminator policies are defined such that zero-length is allowed as 
the empty representation.)"

The second numbered list should mention nil (literal), nil (logical), 
empty, and normal representations.

It is missing discussion of non-zero-length "empty" representations (due 
to emptyValueDelimiterPolicy not none, and initiator and terminator 
defined such that the empty representation is non-zero length).
