equalsJeffH has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== do we need "Byte length l of AAGUID" ? ==
in the attestation rawData fixed initial layout table given in 
https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#sec-raw-data-packed, we have a length 
field for the AAGUID, followed by the AAGUID..
```
     <tr>
         <td>2</td>
         <td>Byte length l of AAGUID</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
         <td>(length)</td>
         <td>AAGUID (l bytes)</td>
     </tr>
```
However, if we are fixing AAGUIDs to be RFC4122 UUIDs (see #148), 
which are a fixed 16 bytes in length, then we can eliminate the 2 byte
 AAGUID length field, and the two above rows of the table become one 
row giving a fixed length for the AAGUID..
```
     <tr>
         <td>16</td>
         <td>AAGUID</td>
     </tr>
```
