Thanks. This newest version includes an example, but no further 
explanation of the encoding. Normative examples that implementors have 
to reverse engineer are generally bad for interoperability, since 
implementors have to guess at the handling for corner cases. Could you 
please add text that describes the encoding itself? It doesn't need to 
be overly complex, but it does need to be explained.
