Too cute. The 'O' is too much of a string, and with the inevitable confusio=
n=20
with 0 - I don't think so.

Make it:
    true: +
    false: x
Not that bad, actually.  However, 'x' is a letter, and is used by itself as=
 an=20
identifier:
    coordinate: x
That said, if there's overwhelming support for 'x' over '!', I'll go with i=
t.

Obscure, some are inherently invalid (using '#').

This displays as line noise in my e-mail client. And VIM. I wouldn't be abl=
e=20
to type it even if I did see it. Unicode just isn't there yet.

The +/! combination is still the less bad option.
