Good point.  I have made the following change:

 The format for DSO messages
 ({{format}}) differs somewhat from the traditional DNS message
 format used for standard queries and responses.
 The standard twelve-byte header is used, but the four count fields
 (QDCOUNT, ANCOUNT, NSCOUNT, ARCOUNT) are set to zero and accordingly their
 corresponding sections are not present.
+
 The actual data pertaining to DNS Stateful Operations
 (expressed in TLV syntax) is appended to the end of the DNS message header.
+The stream protocol carrying the DSO message frames it with 16-bit message 
length, so
+the length of the DSO data is determined from that length, rather than from 
any of
+the DNS header counts.
+
 When displayed using packet analyzer tools that have not been
 updated to recognize the DSO format, this
 will result in the DSO data being displayed
