How do I go about paying for it? Is there a site I can visit? I assume that actually honoring rep clauses would require a bit-level address to be calculated for any field (which would be marked -- as already happens with 4-bit, 2-bit and 1-bit items), and that could be a simple generalization of the current scheme, or it could be a dramatic step (forward, IMHO).
