It seems to me that the simplest way to vary the exchange in
each QSO is to use serials - all contest loggers can handle
them.

Also, it could be argued that one step towards meaningful
exchanges might be to omit meaningless exchanges - in
particular, RST.  We could do both at once by replacing 
RST with Serial.
