[DFDL-WG] new public comment: byteOrder not sufficient. Need bitOrder.

[Mike Beckerle]

I replied in the forum, but to save bouncing back and forth between email
and the public comment forums, this is the reply:

This format contains strings that use us-ascii-7-bit-packed encoding,
signed integers, and single-bit flags. The format in question is a header
format. It is also possible for them to contain "payloads" that use 8-bit
characters.

However, complex types composed of these simple types all depend on this
bit ordering as well.
