+NOTE: padding octets here and in all subsequent format specifications
must be
+ zero, unless stated otherwise.
What about: "... are written as zero and should be ignored on read."
I would rather not say "ignored" because it doesn't allow us to extend
the record if needed in a safe way. The read side should abort if it
sees an other value than 0 in the padding.
