textOutputMinLength required when it shouldn't be needed

XMLWordPrintableJSON

      A user reports that his entirely binary format is getting an error that textOutputMinLength is required.

      Excerpt from email thread is below:

      .... I am getting strange error after I try to compile my schema:

      (Note that I have been using the very same DFDL definition when running the TDML test that I have prepared)

      I checked the docs and, in section 13.2, it says that 'textOutputMinLength' is 'common to all simple types with text representation'; in my DFDL, there are no fields with such representation, I use only (unsigned) integers and bit flags.

      I checked the line in error message 'Schema context': it looks like this:

      <xs:element name="CAT" type="adatp-35:ushort8"/>

      while the 'adatp-35:ushort8' type is defined as follows:

      <xs:simpleType name="ushort8" dfdl:lengthKind="explicit" dfdl:length="1" dfdl:lengthUnits="bytes">
      <xs:restriction base="xs:unsignedInt"/>
      </xs:simpleType>

      Any help would be greatly appreciated!
