[DFDL-WG] BLOB - binary large object proposal - updated

[Mike Beckerle]

This concept, ,which has been discussed before, is in high demand in the
Daffodil user community to enable DFDL to be used to parse image file
formats.
The use case is to provide uniform image-metadata access without getting
bogged down in the large byte-array that makes up most of the file and
would be very large (and pointless) if rendered into XML or JSON.

So our proposal, (which will get turned into an official Experimental
feature document), has been simplified and revised and is described here:
