Subj : Nodelist Phone Field (consistency?)

Hello All,
 
   I am not sure whom I should be addressing with this suggestion/question.
Nick sent me here, so my question:
 
   Instead of using -Unpublished- for the phone field for a lot of the unlist
or TCP based systems, and in other zones we are using 000-0-0-0-0, why not use
000-0-0-0-0 for both 000-0-0-0-0 and -Unpublished-? Since we (Fido) have always
 been about optmization and small as possible node list lines ... this proposal
 would save us 2 bytes on every line currently yielding -Unpublished-. This
weeks node list has 1024 -Unpublished- enrties, this switch would literally
shrink the uncompressed nodelist by 2kb.
 
Thank you for your time,
Ozz
