Thanks for the response Emmanuel.  That clears it up for me.  I think the confusion for me 
came from the terminology used then.  In the blog, that extra space for First/Last and Prev/Next 
was mentioned as if it were for the element, which I mistook was the user's object being allocated 
and not the header portion.  I didn't catch that as the generic formal's name, so that is my mistake.  
I guess in my head, I would have expected the formal name to be Header_Type or similar so I
misread it in my haste.

I appreciate the clarity and apologize if I caused too much of a stir.  I was asking the question 
because I didn't understand, so I hope you don't think too poorly of me for it, despite my mistake.
