I am not sure whom I should be addressing with this suggestion/question. Nick sent me here, so my question:
Instead of using -Unpublished- for the phone field for a lot of the unlist or TCP based systems, and in other zones we are using 000-0-0-0-0, why not use 000-0-0-0-0 for both 000-0-0-0-0 and -Unpublished-? Since we (Fido) have always been about optmization and small as possible node list lines ... this proposal would save us 2 bytes on every line currently yielding -Unpublished-. This weeks node list has 1024 -Unpublished- enrties, this switch would literally shrink the uncompressed nodelist by 2kb.
