Latest draft of the nils and default
document incorporating comments from last week.
As you will see I have been having problems
with bulleted lists in word which are still not correct but I assume I
can fix for the spec.

Nils and Default processing |
Hi Alan - were you going to take the
updates forward, or did you want me to make some changes first?
Reviewed Steve's updates
to the parsing and unparsing rules.
- it might be possible to simplify the nil processing in the rules by having
a defintion up front.
- 'nil indicator set' need a definition
- Discussion about whether 'usNilForDefaults' could be replaced by some
way of defining a literal, out of band value for the default.
- 'value' used when should be 'output value'
- dfdl:emptyValueDelimietrPolicy description should be moved from defaulting
section to initiator section.
- 'text markup' used in section 14.2 of spec

Nils and Default processing |
Here's my latest updates. As discussed
I have reworked the 'Nils & Defaults on parsing/unparsing' sections.
One question was thrown up. On
parsing when a required complex element is missing, we add it to the infoset
as long as applying default processing to its missing children does not
cause an error. You will see I have used the phrase 'Missing
element processing is applied to all child elements.'
to cover this. But 'Missing element processing' as now spelled out
in the same section includes 'nillable and empty string' processing when
the child is simple. Does this apply here?

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

All
I have added unparsing and corrected
some of the existing information in this latest version.
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

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.
