I wholeheartedly approve, and second the motion. In fact we should be
continuing the standard set by Zeppelin Digital, and being used in 
other
trading communities, and running *all* trees in SHN format, 
regardless of
whether someone has the space to make them available for download. 
Even if no
FTP server option is included and it's a traditional thru-the-mail 
tree, the
advantages of SHN are too good to ignore.

Decompressing SHNs and burning audio discs is also faster than 
DAE'ing,
checking, and burning...
