I agree with Tony that this should be removed. An implementation
could support 1 or more bits in a 32 bit block but they all could be clear./
We shouldn't require this block to be trimmed. Note that this restriction
is not present for the variable length capabilities TLVs in  
RFC 7770 (which I added many moons ago).

Thanks,
Acee
