Why would it be too small? I mean, that's a *lot* of words you can
use.
I don't have any particular reason. Just a feeling that "7-bit
ASCII should be good enough for anyone" is not such a safe position
for anything wanting to look forward.
Well, it's not for *everyone*. Just for the folks who are adding keys
to TAP itself, which is a pretty small set of people, all things told.
But anyway, I agree that B seems fine and it can always be reduced to
A later, provided, of course, that we only use ASCII or Latin-1
characters anyway, which seems quite likely to me.
Best,
