If you are intending to transmit the data stream over the physical layer
then you need to maintain the kdkdkd pattern. Normally though elastic
buffers are implemented in the PHY receiver and the symbols are converted to
GMII idle before being sent to the MAC. In this case you can insert or
delete a single byte.
Regarding you second question, I do not have the spec in front of me but it
clearly specifies which idle pattern should be sent. One is used to correct
disparity at the end of frame and the other is then sent continuosly.
