Good luck on evolution in Fidonet. If we can't agree to update P4, I don't think everyone's going to dump their FEMs and go running to something new. As a member of the MBSE development team, along with Andrew Leary, I can safely say that the chances of us adding yet another "new" thing to the software that more than likely won't be used is small. I can appreciate trying to do new things but you may be barking up the wrong tree, to borrow a phrase, in getting this done.
A side note: I use the "000-000-000-000-000" format in the "othernet" I've run for the past 18 years without issue. Then again, all of my hubs and myself run modern software that understands that format even though it's depreciated in Fidonet.
