[Steve Hanson]

On WG call agreed that no change needed, as lengthUnits 'bits' is 
restricted to certain types only.

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.
