  Following the initial octet is an optional string of octets which
  gives information about the reason for revocation in human-readable
  form.  The length of this octet string is one less than the size of
  the subpacket.

Null-terminating the string would be a nice touch; it's not necessary,
since there's a length field, but it would probably reduce accidents,
and it also makes it convenient for tools such as "strings" to find.
