Description
Textual, Text Representation - spec is unclear about text representation and what it means.
It is not only about elements with types. A binary element can have an initiator, and that part of the element's representation has text representation, or is textual (unless specified only using raw-bytes).
Sometimes when we discuss textual data we're talking about delimiters, or data that is being interpreted as text by a regex, regardless of what it actually is.
There are really several different kinds of usage here. Textual means - is being interpreted as text characters, and little more.
Simple type elements that are strings, or have dfdl:representation='text' is only one case of this.
So do delimiters have text representation, or is that terminology only about elements?
