On looking into implementation complexity I've come up with simplifications that don't reduce expressive power at all, but massively simplify implementation (and documentation, and testing...) burdens for this proposed feature. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Proposal%3A+Data+Layer… Feedback is very welcome.
