The DFDL spec is clear that (section 12.3 definition of lengthKind property: 'bits' may only be used for xs:boolean, xs:byte, xs:short, xs:int, xs:long, xs:unsignedByte, xs:unsignedShort, xs:unsignedInt, and xs:unsignedLong simple types with binary representation, and for calendar (date and time) simple types with binary packed representation. Integer types other than these are xs:integer and xs:nonNegativeInteger. Numeric types other than those are float, double, decimal. There has been agreement in the DFDL workgroup that lengthUnits bits will be allowed for hexBinary, and these can be arbitrarily long. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
