The current approach in flow-spec-v6 does not break this concept and is consistent also with the base FS document. As Jeffrey mentioned it is also compatible with the “use as less bits as possible” encoding approach. Thanks for the comment Jeffrey. 

Remind me, is there procedure handling improper values for the length of the
component semantics?

E.g. ports can only be 2 bytes of value. 

I have a feeling this is in the base procedures of "this can't match, so
it's not a problem" but I'm not finding it right now.
