When escapeKind=&#39;escapeBlock&#39; we only use the escapeEscapeCharacter if needed to escape the block end. We don&#39;t use the escapeCharacter at all.<br><br>So, is it an error if escapeKind=&#39;escapeBlock&#39; and you define a value for escapeCharacter in the same dfdl:escapeScheme? <br>
<br>Such property cannot be inherited by scope, so since escapeBlock kind doesn&#39;t use the escapeCharacter, this can only be either an error, or silently ignored, or ignored with a warning.<br><br>An error is the best choice from a language design perspective.  <br>
