Is that a problem? How long is in reality the vms? Longer or shorter that its 
possible contents? :-)

Note that the dain-daiin coding makes the text longer, but the word lengths 
tend to be shorter because of strategically placed spaces.

but the words become longer.

I am not sure what is the intention of your coding. Context sensitive would be 
very prone to errors, I think. Is there any suspicion that the vms may use 
such context sensitive code?
