What problem currently exists with using RST as part of the exchange that we
need to fix? I wouldn't define giving everyone a 599 or 59 as a "problem".

I don't think lack of a prelude to the SN is a problem in SS. It's a
domestic contest, so most signals are fairly strong. If you're running
QRP, working backscatter, etc., you can always send "NR" before the SN.
However, I don't think I've ever heard any of the top SS operators do that.
