BOLT 04: tlv_payload description is not clear

[bitonic-cjp]

First of all, apparently TLV stands for Type Length Value, which was not immediately obvious to me. I guess the format is a sequence of one or more {type, length, value} fields - it would be nice to specify this explicitly.

Secondly, it doesn't specify the size of the type and length fields. Since earlier text claims that the minimum tlv_payload length is two bytes, I guess that's one byte for type, one byte for length and zero bytes for value (if length == 0)? If I need to guess, it's an indication the spec lacks some clarity.

Does the section here answer these questions?

We may be missing a link from bolt 4 to bolt 1 to reference that section, feel free to add one where it would have made sense for you.

I think this can be closed?
