> Erratum 5.30 of the DFDL Spec says:
> {quote}{{Implementation Note: Scanning for delimiters when data is binary, or 
> when using raw byte entities in delimiters, means that a simple character 
> based delimiter scanner is not sufficient, as the delimiter may not be 
> representable as characters.}}
> {quote}
> Implementing a delimiter scanner that works even when delimiters contain raw 
> bytes is hard, but it is required if raw bytes are to be fully implemented. 
> Basically it means that you can't scan for characters in strings, but must 
> lower delimiters (and their state machines)from characters to their 
> representational bytes so that some of the things being scanned for can be 
> just byte values.
