+ This term represents a bitstring whose length in bits does
+ not have to be a multiple of 8.
The <c>Len</c> field is an unsigned 4 byte integer (big endian).
- The <c>Bits</c> field is the number of bits that are used
+ The <c>Bits</c> field is the number of bits (1-8) that are used
in the last byte in the data field,
counting from the most significant bit towards the least
significant.
