I completely agree that this is what the syntax means!
But why the definers chose this cumbersome way of saying SIZE 1..9, if that is
what they intended, is a more difficult question, and makes one think that they
did not, in fact, **intend** this meaning.
Someone else closer to 3GPP may be able to shed more light on this.
