and has normal short and long form
   dfdl:textNumberFormatReference="myNumFormat"
   <dfdl:property name=textNumberFormatRef> "myNumFormat" </dfdl:property>

Note: we decide not to follow the defineFormat/Format pattern of having the reference on the textNumberFormat
as this wouldn't have allowed a short form and the normal form would be verbose.
        <dfdl:format representation="text"
                     numberFormat=”text" >                  
                <dfdl:textNumberFormat ref="myNumFormat" />          
     </dfdl:format>


Possible extension:
As an extension textNumberFormat can also be in-line

    <xs:element name="foo" type="xs:int" >
      <xs:annotation><xs:appinfo source=”http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/”>
        <dfdl:format representation="text"
                     numberFormat=”text" >                  
                <dfdl:textNumberFormat
                           pattern='####'
                           decimalseparator="."    />          
     </dfdl:format>
      </xs:appinfo></xs:annotation>
    </xs:element>

Scoping:

1. In-line numberFormats override any textNumberFormatRefernce on the element or in scope.
2. The textNumberFormat is considered as a single scheme and is overriden as a whole. Properties within
   textNumberFormat cannot be overridden separately

Not resolved.

3. NumberFormat

Decided to split NumberFormat into textNumberRepresentation (text, zoned) and binaryNumberRepresentation(binary, bcd, packed) so there is a simple property decision tree based off representation

4. AOB

Will discuss End of Data next week

Next call  15st Oct
