Seems like occursStopValueKind="literal" only applies to
representation="text".
With that caveat, I think I agree we need to be able to say
<element name="x" type="int" maxOccurs="unbounded"
dfdl:occursSeparator="|" dfdl:occursKind="stopValue" dfdl:stopValue="done"
dfdl:occursStopValueKind="literal" dfdl:representation="text"/>
Then this would be valid 3 occurences for element x.
2|3|4|done
I think we shoudl rename dfdl:stopValue to dfdl:occursStopValue for
consistency.

Re: [DFDL-WG] V3 of length/occurs simplification proposal
Mike - looking at an old level of the spec, we had a occursStopValueKind
property, with enums 'logical', 'literal' and 'missing'. Analogous to
nullvalueKInd property. I'm sure we want to handle 'missing' differently
but the literal v logical distinction is required. How are we proposing to
cover this?

[DFDL-WG] V3 of length/occurs simplification proposal
Based on minutes from last week's meeting I've updated to v3 the proposal
for simplifying length/occurs properties.
Changes are marked with comments. --
