Good afternoon.
 
Steve sent me the infoset draft for review. I considered it along with the embedded comments, and felt a slightly different approach might make our intention clearer and allow more rigour with fewer words. I offer this alternative starting point for further discussion and refinement; if it doesn't find favour I'll go back and refine the original.
 
Hope this helps,
 Simon

Hi Simon - draft DFDL infoset attached - doesn't cover the repeating groups 'wrinkle' discussed on the call.

It's ok for now. We either need to explain an "array info item" or be comfortanble that array vs. scalar is explained elsewhere.

"belongs to an array" should be "belongs to an array of information items" I think so as to make it clearer that there isn't a special "array", but rather these are ... just arrays of information items.

Thanks Mike.

Regarding your array comment, you look to be saying that while it begs the question about an array info item, we are probably ok without one. Correct?  I used Sandy's phrase  "belongs to an array" rather than "is an array" - perhaps the latter is better?
