Your comment seems to indicate a serious misunderstanding about the way
standard callsigns and compound callsigns are handled in the structured
protocols developed for WSJT and WSJT-X.
Standard callsigns like Z6ABC, Z6XYZ, ... are fully supported in the
structured protocols, and always have been. This is well documented,
for example here in the WSJT-X User Guide
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-1.8.0.html#PROTOCOLS
"An amateur callsign consists of a one- or two-character prefix, at
least one of which must be a letter, followed by a digit and a suffix of
one to three letters."
Two different mechanisms are provided for support of compound callsigns.
The suffix /P and the prefix ZA/ appear in the fixed list of "Type 1
Prefixes and Suffixes", so the callsigns K1ABC/P and ZA/K1ABC are
handled with the Type 1 mechanism. The prefix Z6/ does not appear in
the Type 1 list, so calls like Z6/K1ABC are handles as Type 2 compound
callsigns. More details can be found in the WSJT-X User Guiude here:
http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-1.8.0.html#COMP-CALL
The list of Type 1 prefixes and suffixes was determined more than 10
years ago, and has remained fixed since then. It will not be changed.
All other add-on prefixes and suffixes are supported through the "Type
2" addition to the source-encoding protocol.
