Hi Folks,

Consider this input:

8John Doe

The number indicates the length of the following string.

So there are two data items: the first data item is an integer and the second 
data item is a string.

I figured that for the first data item I could specify it this way

type = integer
lengthKind = implicit

Alas, I discovered: Type Integer cannot have lengthKind='implicit' when 
representation='text'

Table 18 in the specification confirms that.

I am seeking an example of a text data value with an implicit length, i.e.,

<xs:element name="example" type="???" dfdl:lengthKind="implicit" />

 Does such a thing exist? Is there ever a text data value whose length is 
implicit?

/Roger
