This is the core of what I wrote.  Do you disagree?

No, I did not define anything.  I said, I believe accurately, that this 
is the, or at least one common understanding of 'variable/fixed width 
encoding.  To repeat, it one is writing to be understood, rather than 
create an effect, and one uses a word or phrase in a non-standard 
fashion (which I myself do occasionally), then it is clearer to say what 
one is doing (which I try to also do).
