Hello DFDL community,

Magic number: A constant numerical or text value used to identify a file format.

The start of every Windows EXE file is the magic number MZ.

Should it be modeled as an initiator for the entire file or should it be 
modeled as 2 bytes of character data? What are the pros and cons of the two 
modeling approaches? What is best practice?
