Ok. Thanks. Are you concerned that the following line assumes that
uuid_iso_iec_11578 is uint8_t[16] instead of being the opaque AVUUID?

us(8, uuid_iso_iec_11578[i], 0x00, 0xff, 1, i);

Did I get this right? If so, couple of options come to mind:

(a) revert the change
(b) define a macro to access individual bytes of AVUUID, thereby
keeping AVUUID opaque
(c) not handle AVUUID as opaque, but instead always as uint8_t[16]

Maybe additional options exist.

I do not have a definitive opinion. Some folks expressed strong
interest in having a consistent scheme for manipulating UUIDs.
