Some things are ambiguous. Clarifications needed are noted below. • Add support for new ‘x’ and ‘X’ symbols. Just single 'x' and 'X', or all variations, i.e., x, xx, xxx, xxxx, and xxxxx, and X, XX, XXX, XXXX, and XXXXX ? SMH: Intention was all variations of 'x' and 'X'. • Add support for new ‘o’ and ‘O’ symbols Don't see 'o' only 'O' on the reference web page given. Is this correct? SMH: My mistake. Should be all variations of 'O'. • Adopt revised semantic for the ‘V’ symbol when used as ‘V’ and ‘VVVV’ To confirm, we don't allow 'VV' or 'VVV'. Only single V, and VVVV. SMH: We may as well allow all variations of 'V'. -- Mike Beckerle | OGF DFDL Workgroup Co-Chair | Tresys Technology | www.tresys.com Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.

Errata 3.1 issue: hiddenGroupRef allowed (or not) on xs:choice
by Mike Beckerle 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

The language of Erratum 3.1 state that the dfdl:hiddenGroupRef property should be allowed on xs:choice schema components. This is a major language change that we should consider carefully. Previously it was allowed only on xs:sequence, and I believe that should be the only allowed usage. Can we review when we made the decision to broaden this to xs:choice as well? ...mikeb -- Mike Beckerle | OGF DFDL Workgroup Co-Chair | Tresys Technology | www.tresys.com
