I find that somewhat surprising, given that:

* 64-bit alignment is a reasonably foreseeable requirement sometime in 
the future.

* The space penalty appears relatively small.

* It will be difficult or impossible to modify the spec for 64-bit 
alignment later.

Maybe there is less agreement than I think about one or more of these 
points.
