Data Length for Rich Text fields

I have noticed that the data length for a rich text field seems to be padded a bit.

Example:

I have text document that contains 4,523 bytes of HTML code. When this code is copied into a Rich Text field in a Notes document and saved the data length comes out to be 6,422 bytes.

Is this overhead generated by Rich Text properties in the field?

TIA

Part of it is CD record overhead, but part of it is also that Notes uses multibyte characters (unlike a straight-up text file).
