You have a good point, but I thought the objective was NOT to maximize readability, but to minimized the size of the file. If you're talking about having a space where one need not be, then why penalize for the size of variable names, either?

Either you can optimize for execution speed (i.e. number of keywords, variables, operators), or you can optimize for size.

Just my 2 cents.
