I understand that currently the extra bit is going to be zero, but that bit 
is part of a completely different field. Someday one of those reserved 
values may be used at which point things will break. The fact is that the 
field is 1-bit wide and thus the mask should be 0x1 not 0x3.

See no evil, hear no evil, eh? ;)
