I'm not sure that an A to B map is possible since we see considerable evidence of 'transitionary' stages between the two (I know Rene has a good explanation of this on his site).
Perhaps this is not the right thread for this question but I did just wonder, has anyone seen if word frequency (i.e. the way we discovered and differentiate between A and B) correlates with the scribal hand (the 5 scribes that Lisa has detailed). It seems reasonable to me that even if we were all writing our pages in English, we have select vocabulary and grammar that we each prefer and gravitate towards. This would of course suggest that the VMS text is not copied from previous manuscripts but has original content, each created by each scribe.
