Mike Beckerle updated DAFFODIL-1541:
------------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> xs:hexBinary with dfdl:lengthKind="delimited" should be restricted to SBCS
> (single byte character set)
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-1541
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1541
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Back End, Front End
> Reporter: Steve Lawrence
> Priority: Minor
>
> Say we have something like:
> {code}
> <xs:element name="foo" type="xs:hexBinary" dfdl:occursCountKind="parsed"
> dfdl:separator="multi-byte utf-8 character" dfdl:encoding="UTF-8" />
> {code}
> We currently don't allow this. But perhaps this should be allowed? Delimiters
> would be scanned using the specified encoding, and then the data up to that
> encoding would be converted to hexBinary data. Does it make sense to allow
> someone to specified a non byte size encoding. For example, a multi-byte
> UTF-8 character, or perhaps even non-byte-size encoding. If we allow
> non-byte-size encodings, is it then an error if the data consumed does not
> have a bitlength divisible by 8?
> The specification is not clear on how this should be handled. Right now, we
> just require that the encoding by ISO-8859-1 for delimited hex binary.
