Description

According to the errata and the updated spec:

US-ASCII-7bit-packed, the alignment is 1-bit (textual data in this encoding may
appear on any bit boundary, i.e., no byte alignment is required).

However, when I set this up I get the same error I get for other encodings:

[error] Test edu.illinois.ncsa.daffodil.section11.content_framing_properties.TestContentFramingProperties.test_alignmentPacked7BitASCII failed: java.lang.Exception: Schema Definition Error: The given alignment (4 bits) must be a multiple of the encoding specified alignment (8 bits) for (String) when representation='text'. Encoding: US-ASCII-7-BIT-PACKED Schema context: element.e6.

The test is alignmentPacked7BitASCII in the following files:
