Maybe we should think about internally representing the Network Entity
Title and its parts as bytes rather than strings? So [u8; n]? Since in
practice it's exactly that. I think this would simplify a lot of the
methods here, and obsolete some stuff like e.g. length validation. I've
noted some parts below where I think we could benefit from that.
We could also provide conversion methods for MAC addresses easily then,
although IP addresses might be a bit awkward since they map to network
entity titles as binary-coded decimal and there's no std support for
that so we'd have to brew our own conversions...
Also, theoretically, the Area ID is of variable length, but for our use
case the current additional constraints are fine imo and not worth the
hassle of implementing variable length Area IDs. Might be good to note
this though.

would simplify those checks a lot imo. and would also be a more natural
representation since the nomenclature here (octets, but len == 4) is a
bit misleading as well..

parsing here could be greatly simplified imo if we convert everything to u8
