[DFDL-WG] 13.7.1.1 Converting Base-2 Binary Numbers

[Steve Hanson]

Converting Base-2 Binary Numbers
For both parsing and unparsing, the bit string that represents the content 
region for a base-2 binary number is converted to/from an Infoset value by 
a calculation that involves the length and the dfdl:byteOrder property.
For unparsing, the dfdl:fillByte property can also be involved. 
1) Why is the fill byte involved here?  We are creating a two's complement 
value of a particular length. There is no filling going on.
2) Should this now also mention dfdl:bitOrder?
