I agree. (Though *at present*, I happen to get a visible display of the
VSs in the email app, which does not look too good.)

Yes. BUT, I would hope that chess enthusiasts would not have to think much
about the encoding. Either using a special keyboard layout (momentarily) or
using a palette for picking board item by board item seems to be better
options. I'm sure someone will make a browser based chess editor, complete
with suitable palette, and having an empty board pre-edited to start out
(replacing the empty squares as pieces are laid out or moved).
