Also, this idea of presence inferred from absence might have implications for the text, too: statistics of what is present in the text are invaluable, but maybe what could be looked at next by our cryptographers is what is missing? For instance, if you thought there might be a meaningful Latin text underneath the script, what is missing from the statistics to make it so? I'm sure others have thought of this though, and examined it, but I do think if we could show evidence of it in the images, there might be more concentration on it? Just throwing that out there: the furthest I've got with cryptography myself is those simple games in the Variety puzzles mags!
