Question on encoding Capablanca FEN strings:

Smirf actually encodes positions like:
rnbqckabnr/pppppppppp/0/0/0/0/PPPPPPPPPP/RNBQCKABNR w KQkq - 0 1

do you think it would be better to use completed numbers like:
rnbqckabnr/pppppppppp/10/10/10/10/PPPPPPPPPP/RNBQCKABNR w KQkq - 0 1

I am not sure, what to do. So I am gathering arguments.

Reinhard.
