One could just as easily decide that the number 0 is not used in
aircraft identifiers to avoid confusion with the letter O. Nothing
would actually have to change.


One is not free to decide that. The letters I and O are not used for
aircraft registration in the US. FAR 47.15(b) would have to change.


Bummer.

I don't think so, but the VNY controllers don't call out the aircraft
type. They always open with "November".


You are free to open with the type regardless what the controller does.


Yes, but that's not the issue. The issue is what to do when both planes
are in the pattern you hear a controller issue an instruction to
"November eight eight syrah poppa...."
