[DFDL-WG] testBit function clarification needed

[Steve Hanson]

I think it is unsignedByte only, for symmetry with setBits.

What types can the $data argument to testBit be? 

xs:unsignedByte is clear, but what other types if any?

I think the stable design points are any of these:
* unsignedByte only
* unsignedByte and byte only
* types xs:long and xs:unsignedLong and any of their sub-types.
* any integer at all
