Clarification: Empty fields

[nickgirardo]

I want to confirm my expectation on what it means for a field to be "empty"

As an example, below is a packet I believe to be correctly formed:

      +=========+----------+==========+========================+
      | Key (A) | PEXP (N) | PLEN (N) | Payload (A)            |
                                      | Console (A) | Name (S) |
      | 00 01   | 01       | 01       | 01          |          |
      +=========+----------+==========+========================+

00 01 to set packet type to Console Name
01 for 1 byte long length
01 for 1 byte long payload
01 for NES

Is this how empty fields should be handled? This is to say, 0 bytes are allocated for them in the packet length and they are not represented. The fields are essentially omitted

Yep that's correct.
