I don't follow. The current representation of variable-position fields uses *both* fields, a variable offset in *bytes*, plus a constant offset in *bits*.
That doesn't explain why the bit value isn't normalized to be smaller than BITS_PER_UNIT; any whole bytes could be incorporated into the variably sized offset.
