Not sure if this has been addressed by a subsequent
errata or not, but I just noticed something that should be corrected in
the spec.

Section 13.11.1 is on the dfdl:calendarPattern property.  The following
two statements are made about the number of fractional second digits.

-                
"Any number of fractional seconds "S" may by specified in
the pattern and accepted by implementations, but an implementation is free
to represent a limited number of fractional seconds internally. Excess
fractional seconds are truncated, not rounded up. At least millisecond
accuracy must be implemented." (Section 13.11.1)

-                
"The number of fractional second digits supported is implementation
dependent but must be at least one." (Section 13.11.1)

These two statements are not consistent.  I believe the second one
should be corrected to say that the minimum # of fractional second digits
is three (to support a minimum of millisecond accuracy).

I'm working through the last version that was put out for public comment
(v1.0.4), so my apologies if this has already been corrected.

FYI,
