Sure, but we're not using American Morse here - there's no "half step" in International Morse. Whatever - I'm the communications protocol design guy at work, and can't avoid a purist attitude about gateways (CW to ASCII in this case). I can see prosigns used as link control characters since they are distinct codes, but think that International Morse text, numeric, and punctuation characters should pass through untouched - why second guess the intention of the sender?
