The reason I was thinking that something like "code:" might be more acceptable than "_" is that it is more visible and (at least for English readers) may be more distinguishable from the original code, though a machine of course would not care. Also, I was not sure whether the proposed "_" prefix was only going to apply to numeric codes, and I thought a prefix might be more palatable if it were uniformly mandated for all, so that different taxonomies would not require different processing.
