Confession. Were it not for having very recently read the following in the IFPS Users Manual I probably wouldn't have noticed.

3.3.8 ...A change to VFR should normally be indicated as follows :
Point VFR e.g. ....... G1 KOK VFR .........

Indication of a change of speed and altitude in combination with a change to VFR is inconsistent with the nature of VFR flight. However, such changes are often received by IFPS and frequently the letters "VFR" are inserted in place of the level or altitude information. As this is a common practice, IFPS accepts and outputs this format.

The following formats for a change of flight rules are therefore accepted and output by IFPS :
Point VFR e.g. ....... G1 KOK VFR .........
Point/SpeedLevel VFR e.g. ....... G1 KOK/N0210A020 VFR .........
Point/SpeedVFR e.g. ....... G1 KOK/N0210VFR .........
C'mon, for a pedant like me it was a red rag to a bull. Actually, strictly speaking, bulls are colourblind... but I digress

(Oh and yes, I think you did a fine job of answering PhilD's question, but wanted to add to it.)
