(was Action 322)

This is something that was included in the first DFDL v1.0 spec drafts but was dropped (for lack of time, to reduce complexity)

There is a need for it. Users want to use DFDL to convert data into XML (or JSON), and such data being converted will sometimes contain strings of XML (or JSON) that want to be carried into the converted data not as escapified strings, but as XML (or JSON) text.

One issue this raises is that the DFDL schema is not the XSD schema of the resulting piece of merged XML.

If properties enabled one to express the complex type/element ref of the expected XML (by name and namespace), then one could automatically create the merged XSD of the combined data in a robust way.

I wrote this in markdown.

Review in Github should allow you to read a
formatted version but to comment on lines of
the markdown.

Per workgroup call 2024-06-13, added additional commentary section.

Talks about implicit length kind that is possible using
XML/JSON parsing, as well as validation errors from XML/JSON
parsing having to be consistently DFDL validation errors.
