Any change to the length semantics would be inconsistent
with the other specs that have been tracking this work
for example Y.1411/Y.1412 - which have already been published.
It would also cause interworking issues with deployed
implementations of the drafts.

Even if we could have done better, what we have works. Changing it
at this stage seems to me to be a bad idea.
