vCon Extension for Morse Code Dialog Encoding
This document defines a vCon extension for representing Morse code
conversations within the Virtualized Conversation (vCon) container
format. Morse code remains an actively used communication medium
among amateur radio operators, in historical preservation contexts,
and in cultural works. The extension provides standardized encoding
for Morse code dialog, including keying timing data, prosign
representation, and the Farnsworth timing method. This document also
addresses information-theoretic considerations of Morse code's
variable-length encoding, its relationship to modern source coding
theory, and the privacy implications of preserving historically
significant Morse code conversations whose data subjects may be
deceased.
