I know the answer. An initiator is never 'terminating markup'. I don't know whether we have made that sufficiently clear yet.

Subject:        [DFDL-WG] can an initiator be terminating markup?

Did we do a clarification about this?

That is, when parsing for delimiters, do you scan for a subsequent fields initiator? I.e., can a subsequent field's initiator behave as terminating markup for a prior field?

I somehow think we decide the answer to this is no, but didn't find discussion of it or rationale.
