Subject: question on TLV

I was working on a dissector here for some local stuff and noted that the protocol i was dissecting does not follow TLV in the best sense
 
in other words at times a Tag type=X has length=6 bytes but the actual value is sent as 8 bytes.
 
Have people seen a general tendency to align TLV elements to octet boundaries?
