We've hit a situation where a schema defines an element using an escapeKind of escapeBlock and the data contains an escapeBlockStart but it does not contain an escapeBlockEnd. I would expect this to be an error, but I can't find anything for this case in the specification. Shall we take this as an action in the next call, or shall I raise an issue for it?
