I've found two issues related to dfdlx:repType while regression testing
this release:
* DAFFODIL-2855: Scoping different when using dfldx:repType vs type
* DAFFODIL-2857: Different prefixes for same namespace fails to compile
with dfdlx:repType
Although 2855 causes regressions, it does have the correct behavior for
repType, so it might be worth not fixing, with the right change being to
correct how non-repType properties are scoped, which is potentially a
major breaking change more suitable for 4.0.0.
But 2857 is a new bug that does break some existing schemas, and could
potentially be a stumbling block for other schemas without an obvious
solution. The workaround is straightforward--use consistent prefixes for
namepaces--but it's not very clear based on the error message.
Any thoughts if this warrants an rc2? Feels like it to me, but I'd like
to hear other opinions before cancelling the vote.
