[DFDL-WG] Action 297 - places in spec for clarifications about delimited binary

[Steve Hanson]

Mike

Glossary change looks good.

12.3.2.2 change - prefer just "Escape schemes are not available for 
delimited binary data."

I searched the spec for discussion of delimited binary, scanning, and 
escaping. 

I can find really only 2 places where a clarification is appropriate and 
would be helpful:

The definition in the glosssary:
Delimiter scanning - When parsing, the process of scanning for a specific 
item in the input data which either marks the end of an item or the 
beginning of a subsequent item. Delimiter scanning also takes into account 
escape schemes so as to allow the delimiters to appear within data if 
properly escaped.
changes to (wording change in blue)
Delimiter scanning - When parsing, the process of scanning for a specific 
item in the input data which either marks the end of an item or the 
beginning of a subsequent item. Delimiter scanning of text representations 
also takes into account escape schemes so as to allow the delimiters to 
appear within data if properly escaped.

Section 12.3.2.2 Delimited Binary Data

This section is extended to include:

Delimited binary data may have initiators, terminators, and separators in 
any supported encoding however escape schemes are not available for 
delimited binary data.
