Adding to John's reply.

For a 16 bit field, the MSB would be the bit designated as 0, per RFC1700 and RFC1035 terminology and not a value of 0. However, the values represented by asserted bits would be in powers of two, i.e. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. The terminology used in the CSA draft relies upon the value being independent of the bit designation.
