And now microMIPS, another attempt at 16-bit encodings.

Thanks, I didn't know about microMIPS. I read about and was surprised by the LWMx(Load Word Multiple) instruction which doesn't seem in the RISC spirit at all.. That's funny, I think that ARM with its v8 ISA (64bit registers) dropped a similar instruction which it had before.
