The TXT specific structure is not defined in the SDM or the TXT dev 
guide. Part of it is driven by requirements in the TXT dev guide but 
that guide does not contain implementation details.

That said, if you would like links to relevant documents in the comments 
before arch specific structures, I can add them.
