First, there is no rootstring check. Currently, a
conforming EOTL client does not know anything about
rootstrings. EOTL generators *may* know.

EOT clients of course do.

Second, the current EOT header version does not include
any rootstring space. It doesn't exist.

Let us stick to what is known and relevant here.
