Hi Mike
Your changes look good.
Re your TBD. I don't mind whether we collapse ComplexAbsentElementRep and SimpleAbsentElementRep into a single term AbsentElementRep.To: dfdl-wg@ogf.org

I've attached version 006. I added an important top-level distinction. Only "enclosed" elements can be absent. A top level document element cannot be absent.

Attached revised grammar 005 - proposed as "to become an errata".

I've made some updates which I think solves the complex empty issue, ties the grammar more closely to the action 140 rep definitions, and addresses Tim's content v value distinction.
Let me know what you think.

I took a crack at revising the grammar to something more accurate, more useful. It's bigger, but not 3 times as big.
I like it, but then I'm an implementor, not a user of this spec trying to devise a schema. Our audience is both however.
I am curious what you think.
One thing it cannot capture is the complexity of complex empty's, i.e., the fact that a complex empty requires one to sometimes descend recursively first, and then check for empty. From the grammar you would think you can always check for this first.
Fact is, you have to descend recursively in order to pop back up, and have the representation be found to match what I call EmptyElement. But the grammar can't show that. (well, maybe it could... I'll think about that further.)
