Hi Alan I've updated the document and added some comments. Still quite a bit to discuss.

I did attempt to write out the dfdl:nilValueDelimiterPolicy and dfdl:emptyValueDelimiterPolicy options in full but it became unreadable hence the 'as controlled by' short cut. Links still don't work Regards Alan Powell Development - MQSeries, Message Broker, ESB IBM Software Group, Application and Integration Middleware Software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM MP211, Hursley Park Hursley, SO21 2JN United Kingdom Phone: +44-1962-815073 e-mail: alan_powell@uk.ibm.com ----- Forwarded by Alan Powell/UK/IBM on 25/05/2010 17:22 ----- From: Alan Powell/UK/IBM To: dfdl-wg@ogf.org Date: 13/05/2010 17:28 Subject: Action 086 Nils and Default processing All Attached is an updated version of the nils and defaults sections of the specification. I have only completed the parsing section so far which you should be able to review while I am on vacation. If someone would like to add the unparsing section that would be great. Note that the cross references are not correct.
