Testing indicates that if you change occursCountKind to implicit and separatorSuppressionPolicy to trailingEmptyStrict, that the daffodil-test module gets 40 test failures.

Since I am refactoring the implementation of separators, it is unwise to try to debug these issues prior to that change being complete.

> Defaulting dfdl:occursCountKind to 'parsed' creates lots of undesirable behaviors. E.g., even optional elements (maxOccurs=1) are treated as possible arrays. 
> The right default behavior here is given by dfdl:occursCountKind 'implicit'.
