Well for DFDL annotations not on the group definition. We should warn that that will be ignored and the annotation placed on the sequence or choice itself inside the group definition.
You can annotate a group reference however, and there's an annotation element `<dfdl:group ..../>` for that purpose. For other annotations than appinfo with the DFDL source attribute - yes, we should be ignoring those.
