Description
I think the VLQ specification should be more explicit about building 7-bit bytes starting from the right (least significant bits):
Correct order: start from the right (least significant bits):
32 bit input = (4-bits) (7-bits) (7-bits) (7-bits) (7-bits)
Wrong order: start from the left (most significant bits):
32 bit input = (7-bits) (7-bits) (7-bits) (7-bits) (4-bits)
Problem specification:

Of course the student can find the correct order by looking at the test cases, but is there a reason to not being more explicit?
