Section 6, too; we need the specification language modifications. I
believe that should be the same as the existing union, except you don't
get to specify a default arm.

I was also originally thinking this would just be in the same I-D
together with the address and time definitions, but I'm not sure if
that's appropriate anymore... as this is more at the level of XDR, and
the others are types used in AFS3 that are composed of XDR primitives.
