Well, for not having done that, E? and such would be correct, or at
least that's my understanding.

Anyways, that looks good, but I'd like to see more of the non-extant
values filled in. And mayble Loglanging should just go from L++ to L--,
moving the 4+ and 4- categories to those positions. I can't really think
of that much more that could fit in there without making excessive
divisions in the spectrum.

Ooh, and one more thing - under C, there should be one for high school
student - or maybe CST should be extended to include high school
students - that's what I'll do for now.

Oh, and for eyesight, maybe remove E and let one specify for their left
& right eye one after another, inside the colon - say, NS (in my case).

One more - Maybe make "s--" something like "There's the odd difficult
cluster, but let's not go nuts."

Just thinking up some suggestions, use them at your discretion.
That said, my code is:
CST v1.1 !l§ cS:R:E:H a+ y n16:1 B+ A? E L- N1 Ic/m/p/v k ia---:+ p s--
m o++ P S- Ajuk

All in all, version 1.1 is lookin' good. Certainly does what it's
supposed to.
