The reason for not aligning in Open Firmware property values because I got tired of having to fix structures that needed different padding when moving to different systems. I just decided to dispense with alignment, constructing property values with serialization functions and reading them with deserialization functions.
People often get away with structure-based property access techniques, but the "official model" is based on a byte stream of concatenated elements with no internal alignment.
