> Due to a user complaint that it wasn't understandable, I think we need to fix the daffodil error message about no forward progress be sure to say: 
> 1) the error is about the array element
> 2) the array element that parsed successfully consumed zero data
> 3) since the array is unbounded maxOccurs, you are in an infinite loop, as any further attempt to parse will make no forward progress through the data.
