I think you are both missing the Ives blending that Hal's version has.  
I think of him mostly as forcing tunes together.  The addition of commas 
is a good idea, but I wouldn't put one after each letter.  Hmmm, I now 
see that Jim's version would continue, and retain the blending.  I think 
using commas and various other simple devices, like miscapitalizations, 
reversed letters, etc., Hal could make a book-length suite on Ives.
