> The DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd file defines two formats: GeneralFormat and GeneralFormatPortable. The idea being that GeneralFormatPortable can be used for schemas that want to work in both Daffodil and IBM DFDL.
> However, GeneralFormat defines the extension property emptyElementParsePolicy that IBM DFDL does not allow. Even if a schema only uses GeneralFormatPortable, IBM still sees this invalid property in GeneralFormat and creates an SDE. This means anything using tthe DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd file cannot be portable.
> For his to work, the GeneralFormat and GeneralFormatPortable types need to be defined in completely separate files.
