I think the changes you made are misleading:

"Option #2B - 8/16/63-bit length Read the first length byte, if 0-253,
that is the length. If 254, the next two bytes are the length. Otherwise,
read the next 8 bytes (high bit must be zero) and that is the length."

That does not explain that the penality is that we lost 1 reserved bit and
only have 2 reserved bits remaining.  You argued strongly against that
option before correct?  Did you drop your objective to losing the 3rd
reserved bit?  Maybe you can just add that disadvantage and reset the
voting for that item?
