Seems wise to refer to it, and either confirm we conform to it, or explicitly state we do not.

The <BIT-STRING> rule describes the GSER encoding of values of the
BIT STRING type without a named bit list.

BIT-STRING = bstring / hstring

If the number of bits in a BIT STRING value is a multiple of four the
<hstring> form of <BIT-STRING> MAY be used.  Otherwise, the <bstring>
form of <BIT-STRING> is used.  The <bstring> rule encodes each bit as
the character "0" or "1" in order from the first bit to the last bit.
The <hstring> rule encodes each group of four bits as a hexadecimal
number where the first bit is the most significant.  An odd number of
hexadecimal digits is permitted.

Sugegst closing this issue, we describe the bitstring in sufficient detail in the existing spec.
