I gave up on record rep clauses a while back after similar frustrations. Am
I
alone in this? These days, for interface level stuff I work with byte arrays
and
do all the conversions explicitly myself (loads of modular arithmatic, which
I'd
have to admit finding quite fun getting what I want sometimes :-)

Has anyone been down this path before and stopped any pitfalls I'm not
aware of?
