So you compress text and tokenize and the source becomes larger instead of
smaller? How is that possible?

Personally, I always use '#' and '%'.
I think you should support '00h', because many people use it. In my opinion
'00h' is more important than '&H', because the latter is a BASIC convention
adopted only by WBASS.
I would like to see '$' supported as a prefix. It isn't at the moment, it
conflicts with the "current assembly address" function.
Another popular hex prefix is the C convention: 0x (as in 0x3E).
Maybe you can implement conversion for popular prefixes in the ASCII parse
routine. In that way the user will only see one selected prefix on the
screen, but can load files using other prefixes.
