[DFDL-WG] Binary decimal virtual point - unparsing behaviour

[Steve Hanson]

I am not finding anywhere in the DFDL spec that says explicitly what 
happens during unparsing when a decimal value is given to the unparser, 
and its rep is binary, and the BDVP is not sufficient to remove the 
decimal point from the value. This is surely a processing error, because 
the spec states in section 13.7.1 "When unparsing a binary number (packed 
decimal or twos-complement) and excess precision is supplied in the 
Infoset no rounding occurs. It is a processing error."
