I hate to be nit picky (really, I do) but ARP has both a hardware type
field and a hardware address length field. I suppose the address length field
could be of use on networks where the hardware address was variable length?

Yes, Starlan is semantically the same as ethernet, so I according to your
argument they should have the same hardware type. I tend to agree...
