Then this code is incorrect, as it handles len 3 attrs only at the end
of the array.  Also please note that SIM Toolkit Text Attributes are
always coded on 4 bytes (see 102.223 Section 8.72 for details).  You
might want to assume 4 byte alignment or invent a data structure for
these attributes.

I'm not seeing how align gets initialized properly if start != 0.
