Messages consist of lines of text.   No  special  provisions are  made for encoding drawings, facsimile, speech, or structured text.  No significant consideration has been given  to  questions of  data  compression  or to transmission and storage efficiency,    and the standard tends to be free with the number  of  bits  consumed.   For  example,  field  names  are specified as free text,rather than special terse codes.
