Fair enough, thanks (and to the rest of you for your input :) But still,
even with that scheme, how do I fit acutes, graves, and circumflexes into
it? Not to mention breathings? Okay, I could do ê or â etc, but the
circumflex can't be put on w or h...

And why not chi=x? Seems closer, graphically, right?

And actually, omega=oo, eta=ee, theta=th, chi=kh, phi=ph, might be more
legible after all...(just a thought)
