Heeeuuuuuuurkkkk!! I certainly did not suggest that! Instead I would probably accept more easily codeing the single digit "123" as: 1<ZWJ>2<ZWJ>3 Or if hex sequences are intended when writing "1234ABCD", and one digit becomes one character: <BEGIN-NUMERIC>1234ABCD<END-NUMERIC> where two additional controls would take place to change the interpretation of the embedded letters or symbols into numeric digits...
