> My suggestion is that the tag size (aka count field) should be only 4 bytes I suggest that, in order to reach a quick and firm decision, we count votes. I personally abstain. This makes 1 vote for 4 byte tag size vs 0 for 8 byte tag size 1 vote for 8 byte Tile/Strip ByteCounts vs 0 votes for 4 byte Tile/Strip ByteCounts I will not be counting votes for the size of the 'number of tags' member, since it is not a separate issue: if votes yield giving up on alignment, it will need to revert to 2 bytes, otherwise, it will need to stay 8 bytes wide. Anyone object to this voting or the proposed way to count them? If not, please state your votes.
