Hi,

When we were discussing the namespace bits 29 and 30 we really all knew
we meant that those bits are reserved in _every_ 32-bit it_present value
like the extension flag 31, not just reserved as field numbers.

Would anybody object to adopting the naming convention that the "fixed"
bits be called "flags" and the "floating" bits be called "field
indicators", or similar?
