[DFDL-WG] Correction to 12.3.7.1 Length of Simple Elements with Textual Representation

This section says "For a textual element, the dfdl:lengthUnits property can
be either 'bytes' or 'characters'."

I think this statement is just old. It predates the addition of 7-bit and
6-bit characters to DFDL, and the notion that the width of characters might
not be a multiple of 8-bits.

This section can be removed.
