Agree, this is rather annoying. It's common to start your normal message with a number.

I like all of these ideas. Beacons are a great way of getting the attention of weaker players, however it also let's the enemy know where to strike first :(

It is quite common to let people know your current fps, game time, and total number of units through out game play. Requiring a character ahead of the player number would cut down greatly on the number of accidental PMs.
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241
