The boot flags at https://github.com/im-tomu/foboot/blob/master/doc/BOOT-SEQUENCE.md#boot-flags don't have any error correction. It is unclear if this is a bad thing or not.

Suggestions;

Add parity bit?
Add something which makes it easy to tell the difference between a new - unsupported flag, verse random corruption?
Describe what happens if no valid boot flags are found or that is an incompatible configuration of flags set.
