Limited strings are not supported in 0.7. 

The validation change was as designed, please refer to Bug 358763

The validation message ends with the string "Found 9", I don't know the meaning.

Changed the test cases, and close this bug.

Paul, 

I assume the 'found 9' means that a length of 9 was specified for the string.  Can we clean up this error message?  Maybe, "The type {0} cannot specify a fixed length."

I have removed the last sentence of that message to remove the confusion.

Verified in build 20111107. "Found 9" has gone away.
