Hi Iztok,
your proposal looks interesting and using one or more of the extra FT8
payload bits for better exotic callsign handling has been considered. I
am confused about what he issue with the above Z6/S56A callsign is as
that is a valid type 2 prefix compound callsign and should be handled
reasonably well by the existing source encoding.
I do have some doubt about your proposed extension mechanism as it seems
to sometimes rely on a regular base base callsign being present in the
exotic form which may not always be the case, in fact the contraction to
a regular base callsign may be some other operators callsign. For
example you suggest that if I were allowed to use, say G250WJS for some
250th special celebration. But contracting this callsign to G2WJS plus
50 encoded in the grid word would be incorrect as my call is G4WJS.

G4WJS.
