SOT/EOT is primarily intended to make processing of messages from FTS-1
Type 2 packets easier.  If a JAM processor inserts them in the proper place
when scanning out messages, there's no reason why it can't work.  I do
agree that the kludges are rather unnecessary in a JAM message base.  Most,
if not all, programs that work with JAM will display all kludges at the top
of the message.
