In section 9.3.2.1, there are two numbered lists. The first numbered list should qualify its mention of "empty representation" with "(when the emptyValueDelimiterPolicy and initiator and terminator policies are defined such that zero-length is allowed as the empty representation.)" The second numbered list should mention nil (literal), nil (logical), empty, and normal representations. It is missing discussion of non-zero-length "empty" representations (due to emptyValueDelimiterPolicy not none, and initiator and terminator defined such that the empty representation is non-zero length).
