I don't care if this is technical and editorial, but I do care the 
quality of IETF specification.  Honestly I think the current 
representation is too loose, and I am afraid you would get the same 
comment from others.  If you think *** representation loses visual 
access to the bit allocation, there can be other ways of 
representation such as "| 1| 1|n0|n1|n2|k0|k1|k2|".

This is something to think about for general readers..

Thanks you,
Yoshihiro Ohba
