Because requiring the fragment offset be aligned on an
eight-byte boundary adds complexity and wastes payload.
To be clearer, I meant the alignment of the fragment
boundaries, not the alignment of the offset field within the
fragment header. I would prefer to keep the fields
themselves aligned on byte boundaries, but it is difficult
to to so with two eleven-bit fields. They could easily
be put on four-bit (nibble) boundaries, if that is a help.

What do you mean by "the ack is in the fragment header"?
The ack is its own dispatch type, distinct from the
fragment dispatch.
