Description

If you create an element with the inputValueCalc property expressed like this

<xs:element name="value">
<xs:annotation><xs:appinfo source="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/">
    <dfdl:property name="inputValueCalc"><![CDATA[
      { ...expression }
    ]]></dfdl:property>
</xs:appinfo></xs:annotation>
<xs:simpleType>
...
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

At compilation time this will not cause an error, even though a dfdl:element annotation is required, and dfdl:property is not allowed like this. (BUG 1)
So silently, this asks for length property to be defined, because it isn't seeing this as an
IVC at all.
