Subject:        [DFDL-WG] implicit alignment of complex types
Sent by:        dfdl-wg-bounces@ogf.org

I believe the spec language is unclear here.

It says:

               The 'implicit' alignment of complex elements and groups is the alignment of its child with the greatest alignment.

This could be worded more clearly:

              The 'implicit' alignment of a complex element is the alignment of its model group. The 'implicit' alignment of a model group is the alignment of its child with the greatest alignment.
