iam against this change, having a few reserved values
1. allows us to use these values in the future (using exactly 8 or 16 bit
   means that hw demuxers might not be easily able to be extended)
2. allows implementations to internally use the unused cases for flags
   and special cases
3. the extended values added are not usefull in practice
3A. you have 254 frame codes, some are needed for "exceptional" cases
    so >250 streams will hardly be hardcodeable in reality
3B. data_size_mul/lsb > 256 make little >16384 make no sense
