[DFDL-WG] Clarification needed: pad/trim and delimited length

The spec says that pad characters are removed before escape scheme
processing.

However, in delimited context, I can't even determine the length of the
field to trim off the padding unless I can do the escape scheme processing.

This is either a Chicken-Egg, or the algorithm for parsing is substantially
more complex due to padding.

Comments?
