Beats the heck out of "IE" which *is* officially 
recognized!

I would suspect ? is nearly universally recognized among 
serious contesters.  On the other hand, I suspect a lot of 
non-contesters don't recognize it.  It's probably more 
important that we avoid disrupting non-contest QSOs than 
that we play fair with each other.
