Subject: Binary decimal virtual point - unparsing behaviour
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."
