1. Discussion of unparsing

Discussed Mike's description of unparsing email dated 12/06

outputValueCalc has the highest priority. If there is a value in the infoset it is ignored
Use case is using parsed infoset for output.
The outputValueCalc can be evaluated multiple times but must return the same result
It is an error if there is a value in the onfoset for a hidden element
dfdl:lenght of an element with an inputvalueCalc returns aero
