Regards Steve Hanson Architect, IBM Data Format Description Language (DFDL) Co-Chair, OGF DFDL Working Group IBM SWG, Hursley, UK smh@uk.ibm.com tel:+44-1962-815848 From: Mike Beckerle <mbeckerle.dfdl@gmail.com> To: Tim Kimber/UK/IBM@IBMGB, Steve Hanson/UK/IBM@IBMGB, Date: 10/08/2013 15:26 Subject: Clarification needed on changes to Erratum 2.121 in Errata doc draft r14.0 There have been changes in r14 to erratum 2.121. 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.
