I agree that moving the new Documentation immediately after the Overview
would be better.

Thanks for the feedback. REV is a good suggestion and more accurate.

Historically, the units of the size been in bytes. It might make sense to
redefine this field to bits 39-19 and change the unit to 64 bit words. This
would also be consistent with DFHv1 parameter blocks and enforce 64 bit
alignment of the DFH.
Thanks for the feedback,
