Except for Emergency communications, missing a character or two doesn't mean squat. For contests, digital error correcting protocols are non-starters. For pileups, I doubt any error correcting protocol will be of use.

I like digimodes because the technology is awesome.

I'm amused when people consider them "new", because they've been around for

I think you've underestimated by quite a bit.  RTTY has been around since the 
early '30s.
