Hi Folks,

I have a DFDL schema for a simple text data format, as illustrated with the 
following instance ('a', 'b', and 'c' are the data items):

a,b,c

In my schema I do not specify dfdl:occursCountKind. But I could specify 
dfdl:occursCountKind="fixed" without error.

In my schema I do specify dfdl:initiator="". If I do not specify it, an error 
is raised.

For this data format I do not have to specify occursCountKind, but in other 
data formats, I must specify it.

Lesson Learned: when creating a DFDL schema some properties must be specified 
while for others it is optional whether you specify them. Do you agree? Is 
"optional" the correct word? 

Is there some kind of map/table/graphic/whatever that indicates which 
properties are required and which are optional?

/Roger
