I don't think that 1x1x and 2x are equivalent. 2579 says "the octet length:
one or more decimal digits specifying the number of octets of the value to be
used and formatted by this octet- specification."  So 1x1x is two one byte
values, where 2x is a single two byte value.  So, given a value "0023", I'd
expect "0023" for 1x1x, and "23" for 2x.

?? Calling my own patch non-robust? Isn't that hitting myself below the
belt? :-)

Yeah, I know that song and dance.

Yep. The vote seems to be 4+, 0 against, so I'll probably apply it tomorrow
afternoon unless late objections turn up.
