Dear all, I was wondering where the decision to have a 4 bits long Symbols header field (and by consequence, a maximum number of 15 symbols per symbol representation) comes from? Is that "upper bound" the outcome of any previous research work (if so, please point me to that) or purely arbitrary? Thank you very much for any clarification, Salvatore P.S. really look forward to reading the new version of the Symbol Representation draft.
