How is it "random bits of information" when the specifications says that it MUST be underscore? As far as I can think of, the only thing that it will tell is that the implementation is following this specification. So, on the contrary; the more "degrees of freedom" that is given to the implementation, the easier it would be to do fingerprinting. Cheers, Andreas
