             Summary: Add doc page for dfdlx extension features
                 Key: DAFFODIL-2179
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2179
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Michael Beckerle


Daffodil has numerous dfdlx features.

These do have documentation scattered on the developers wiki under design 
notes, and intermixed with other things that aren't documentation users would 
need. Users aren't going to be able to find this.

Since these are dfdlx features, a wiki page with links to their doc is the 
right thing, but we should have a link on the user web site that reaches this 
summary page, with links to all the dfdlx extension page wiki pages.  Copious 
warnings about "subject to change without backward compatibility support." can 
then be clearly displayed, and the dfdlx features can be grouped into those we 
want people to experiement with, and those we don't (which we might possibly 
just decide not to mention at all.)

The above is intended to add minimum work to adding a dfdlx extension to DFDL 
while giving users a clue about dfdlx features they may see in a DFDL schema, 
or need to use.
