End tags or markup.

Actually markup is a general term for delimiters, if a bit misleading.

Also I have used the term "terminating markup" to mean either a terminator or a 
separator when in a context where we dont care which. I think "terminating 
delimiter" is preferable for that usage though.

Subject: What do other people call terminators?

Hello DFDL community,

For initiators:

  *   Some data formats identify the start of data by preceding the data with a 
symbol
  *   DFDL calls that symbol an “initiator”
     *   Other people call it a “tag” or a “label”.

For terminators:

  *   Some data formats identify the end of data by following the data with a 
symbol
  *   DFDL calls that symbol a “terminator”
     *   Other people call it ???

What do other people call terminators?

/Roger
