Hello, I have one item I'd like to discuss at some point regarding inputValueCalc and not allowing the default property to be specified. I have a use case where the default property would be useful for unparse. It makes perfect sense to not allow it for outputValueCalc however. The use case is in forming a connection between an inputValueCalc element and an outputValueCalc element where the incoming document might not contain the inputValueCalc element for unparse and a default value would be desired for the outputValueCalc use. This is an item our customers using DFDL would like to make use of but don't want to require the element to always exist for unparse.
