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.
