--- Comment #1 from Mark Watson <watsonm@netflix.com> ---
r and s are just integers in the interval [ 1, n-1 ] where n is the order of
the base point G of the elliptic curve.

The ambiguity is in "Convert r/s to a bitstring" since it is not specified what
the output bitstring length should be.

I assume it should be the smallest multiple of 8 bits which can represent the
value n-1 (I expect this is also what Eric meant in comment #0).
