Description

In a schema, where lengthUnit is 'bits', and encoding='X-DFDL-US-ASCII-7-BIT-PACKED', where we have the following element defined 

<xs:element name="alpha" dfdl:lengthKind="explicit" dfdl:length="14">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:minLength value="2"/>
      <xs:maxLength value="2"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

Daffodil issues  the following warning on compiling the schema with save-parser or using api compilation

java.lang.AssertionError: Schema Definition Warning: Explicit dfdl:length of 14 is out of range for facet maxLength='2'.
