Lou, there are things I find fundamentally flawed and things I find somewhat flawed. I do not understand why we need to mess around with data encodings at all. I do not see what gets simpler by messing around with the data encodings. Engineering decisions are usually cost/benefit tradeoffs. I see the costs, I am unsure about the benefits.
