[DFDL-WG] Problem with dfdl:numberBase and number representation properties

It looks as though we didn't properly consider dfdl:NumberBase when 
defining the number representation properties as they mostly assume base 
10.

dfdl:numberBase should be ignored if textNumberRepresentation is 'zoned' 

The dfdl:textNumberFormat properties which are really only for decimal 
numbers so perhaps dfdl:NumberBase should be moved out. 
The alternative is to say which of the dfdl:textNumberFormat properties 
apply when dfdl:numberBase is not '10'
