In the end, the length fields turned into byte counts, with implicit zero
padding at the end. Added to v-08 (section A.3.8).

My proposal:

the length field contains #complete words after the length field.
so, the byte length would be [4*length + 2]

From Roland Bless (via the mailing list):

Hi,

just a quick question related to sec. C.4.8:
 Length of opaque NLI info.
Is this specified in bytes or words?
(I assume the latter, but a clear statement
in the doc would be nice).
