Hi Warren,

I don't have link nor a graphic diagram, but perhaps this character based
presentation helps a little.
You need use a constant width font e.g. Consolas to get it correctly.

correctly I picked three different message types as examples. The first
ruler gives tens of bits and second you may guess. The message bits are
marked with the bit-field tags used in Table 1 and last line in each gives
how many bits are in each bit-field for each tag character.

Bit-field purposes are defined in Table 2 and details in Appendix A. Even
Appendix A refers further to algorithms that finally define bits. Some of
those are complex and impossible to present as a linear mapping to bits.

Hope this gives some inside look into an efficient source coding.
