What happens if it is a dependant_slice_segement or
output_flag_present_flag?  Those flags are all dependant on
dependant_slice_segement being false.  I'm guessing 0 but it maybe
should be documented.
Likewise if output_flag_present_flag is false pic_output_flag will not
be coded, so maybe express it as "after slice_type" rather than "before
pic_output_flag"?
