The design of the element defragmentation would be much simpler if instead of saving the
pointers to the fragment elements during parsing of the frame, when an element needs to
be defragmented (based on the element length), it can be done on the fly as the fragments
of the elements are expected to be right after the element. Thus, once we have the pointer
to the element that needs to be fragmented and its length we can easily get all the other
elements and do the defragmentation. Obviously, the fragment element length etc. would
still need to be validated during the frame parsing.

What do you think?

Ilan.
