<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Or are you proposing they come from the
definition, not over-the-air? If so (in the defintion), then why
constrain to 4 options (2 bit). Go with 9.<br>

Upper Left, Top Center, Upper Right<br>
Left Center Right<br>
Bottom Left, Bottom Center, Bottom Right<br>
<br>
And another indicator to say "Overlay" (inside the symbol image)
or "Outside" (IOMCO*)<br>

any new system I suggest 2 bits be allocated to indicate
where the overlay character is drawn. Upper left, Upper
right, center, or none. “None” can be used when a client
that has defined a separate symbol for a given overlay
combo because it does not then also need to draw the
overlay character. Though if there is room, it would help
human understanding across platforms if the overlay
character was also obvious on the new special symbol.</span></p>
