Given that the instance ID of the LFB is actually a class-instance pair, I 
believe that the combination of an LFB ID and an LFB element PATH is enoguh 
to fully decode the data that goes with that path.  There is a need for 
some length information in the encoding, but no need for type 
information.  The CE already knows the schema and the class.  The 
mechanisms for extension are deliberately defined so taht information can 
be interpretted properly even when it is actually from an unknown subclass.

Yours,
Joel
