Alan, Mike 1.1. textBiDiTextType. I am ok with 'left' & 'right'. It's unambiguous. If you drop the terms, then the enums for textBiDiOrientation would have to change (and I think these came from OMG CAM model?) 1.1. textBiDiTextShape. From reading the referenced primer, whether the character includes shape is encoding dependent. If when unparsing the output is in an encoding that does not include the shape then the assumption has to be that shape is added by the presentation layer. So do we need the property? 1.1. textBiDiNumeralShapes. Again do we need this? Presumably the Hindi numbers have different Unicode code points anyway, so round tripping is preserved. 1.2.1. I'm not sure we should be referring to DFDL properties in the infoset definition. It would be interesting to know which of these properties have been added to IBM WTX 8.2. But we should also bear in mind that a WTX map receives the physical data in the native encoding, and not a logical equivalent.
