I like this idea.  Reading the LTP spec, it struck me as odd (and
slightly ugly) that there were 2 different types of SDNV.  I couldn't
instantly think of any good way to "unify" them though, so I didn't
gripe about it.  Now that there's a proposed alternative, I'll record
my gripe with the dual-format SDNVs.
