Agreed. There certainly is merit in covering RFC 1997 (32-bit), RFC 4360
(64-bit) and RFC 8092 (96-bit). For each of these one can fit (at least
a few) of such communities in the 16 bits worth of length of the 'outer
enveloppe' that is the IPFIX record. Should be pretty straight forward.

On the other hand, the current version of the Wide communities draft has
a container mechanism, the outer layer at that level also has a 16-bit
field, like IPFIX has. One can't fit a 16-bit thing in a 16-bit + with
space left for leading / trailing IPFIX related data. I don't
immediately have suggestions how to fit this reliably.

Kind regards,
