[jira] [Updated] (DAFFODIL-2363) pattern facet can't use  notation. Makes validating NUL very hard.

Mike Beckerle updated DAFFODIL-2363:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
See test_nulPattern1. 

This bug is a real pain in the neck. 

I want to capture NUL padding regions and insure they are all NUL. 

These come through to XML as These U+E000 characters. I need to insure that the string contains only those.

So I'd like to use a 
```
<xs:simpleType name="allNULStringType>
  <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
     <xs:pattern value="&amp;#xE000;*"/>
  </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
```
I consider this data well-formed (should parse) even if other bytes are there that aren't NUL, but such data is invalid. So I want the facet to check for all NUL chars (or these E000 things that Daffodil puts in XML because XML can't contain actual NUL chars).

The test fails with 
```
org.apache.daffodil.tdml.TDMLExceptionImpl: (Implementation: daffodil) Validation errors found where none were expected by the test case.
Validation Error: ex:foo failed facet checks due to: facet pattern(s): *
```
If github does the right thing that pattern will look like the E000 box char and *.
