[DFDL-WG] elements and combining properties with their types

13 May 2009

      I spent some real time thinking about this issue today.

Attached is a memo on the subject which is big enough that I didn't want to
just make it an email body.

Summary: I think current 034 semantics are broken and should be fixed along
the lines of the element - overrides - type principle. The example in the
scoping section is not right. 

But the issue has some depth to it. E.g., I think the grammar productions
are broken currently and we need to fix those also.

See attached.
