I said "worst-case" because you could only comfortably tell half-spaces 
from full-spaces if you knew what the code was... and I certainly can't and 
don't (respectively). :-p

FWIW, I think it's more than an accessorised monoalphabetic cipher - but 
less than a full-on polyalpha. I think Strong was right in terms of 
complexity and technique - but not of detail. :-o
