[DFDL-WG] clarification needed: textNumberCheckPolicy lax includes lax-ness about plus signs.

[Mike Beckerle]

 Excerpt from daffodil users mailing list indicates that the discussion of
how "lax" textNumberCheckPolicy="lax" is w.r.t. plus signs on numbers.

------------------------------



> If you set textNumberCheckPolicy="lax", then

> we do ignore leading plus signs in the data



The DFDL specification doesn't seem to say that a leading plus sign is
ignored. Here's what it says:



If 'lax' and dfdl:textNumberRep is 'standard' then grouping separators are
ignored, leading and trailing whitespace  is ignored, leading zeros are
ignored and quoted characters may be omitted.



Nothing about ignoring plus signs in that.
