Steve Lawrence commented on DAFFODIL-2170:
------------------------------------------

When I first read this bug i imagined the experimental flag would be controlled 
via a tunable. And then I realized maybe we don't really have a good 
formalization of when we should use properties vs tunables, and so I'm not sure 
which is correct. Do you have thoughts on when something should be controlled 
via a tunable vs a property?

> The DFDL Workgroup has concluded that this feature is on the list for DFDL 
> v2.0. (Few things that don't have multiple implementations are going to be 
> added to DFDL v1.0 any more.)
> That means this has to become an experimental feature which means it has to 
> have a property for enabling/disabling it.
