Solution proposed by the submitter (optional):

 

Add to the end of 5.3.7: "Within any encoded member, there shall be a <SEP> between the `data type index’ and the `data element count’, and there shall be a <SEP> between the `data element count’ and the list of data elements. If the list of data elements contains more than one item, then adjacent items shall have a <SEP> between them."
