I've been thinking about this stuff for a while (not ignoring you;
sorry it has taken for a while).

I think the answer is basically "I'm not sure yet."  So, how about
this for now: when an action or an instruction cannot be encoded in
OF1.0, simply do not encode it at all, that is, omit it from the
actions.  When I have a proper answer later, we can fix it up.

Thanks,

Ben.
