> When scanning for a separator and encountering an out-of-scope
> separator/terminator, the diagnostic message is really poor.
> It says what it found, that it was out-of-scope, but doesn't focus you on
> where it was within the scope, by giving an element name, or line number in
> the schema.
> If you have a required element that is missing, so that the parser can't find
> that element's separator and instead finds the enclosing
> separator/terminator, the diagnostic message needs to include the required
> element that it did not find a separator before, or the prior element it did
> not find the separator after. One of the two. Or at least needs to point you
> at the sequence the two elements are found in. But since that sequence could
> be spread over many lines, it really does need to identify in terms of the
> term decl before and after where the separator was not found.
