I've just been reading RFC 6458 - HTF did it get past the editors and
then published in its current form?
Lots of the structures have implied padding.
There is an embedded 'struct sockaddr_storage' in the middle of
one structure. In some OS this should never actually be instantiated.

Maybe the interface could have been changed in 2001, but not in 2011.
