CARD issue#40: Proposal is to use 16 bit length indicator for CARD options

Hi,

let me bring up issue#40 again, which proposes to extend the
CARD option length to 16 bit. Referring to Pat's mail, this issue
is still open and we did not get a consensus yet. However, proposal
was to extend the 8 bit lenght to 16 bit length field, still
indicating number of bytes as unit.

Comments?
