If you think the SPF requirement wasn't octet-aligned, and the unit of 
store two or more contiguous allocations of 8 bits, then your opinion is 
interesting.

If you think the IDN requirement is both octet-aligned, and the unit of 
store necessarily 8 bits, for all label types, then your opinion is very 
interesting.

Look, I don't much care, other than to have suggested that the taxonomy 
of labels of type data could be consistent with 2929, and that text 
labels are a proper subset of binary labels. I don't much care that the 
binary label experiment didn't pan out better, its just a data type to 
be correct about, or gloss over because <insert reason here>.

There was a reason the 4408 authors ignored anything other than 
single-byte characters, they weren't wrestling with u-labels.

Oh well.
