Questions/remarks.  Please feel free to answer/correct.

A header introduces a block, correct?

Once a block has been identified by a header, the format of all
instructions in that block is set.  Correct?

The compiler (or assembler programmer) must then chose which
instructions go into which block, correct?

If a short instruction is followed by a long instruction, and
both are in a single block, what is the compiler to do?
I can only see either a) to chose a block for the longer
instruciton or b) fill the rest of the block for short
instruction with (short) NOPs.

How is this supposed to save space?
