In my case, it was the specific need for certain IPA characters that were
either nonexistent or awkward to express in the Kirshenbaum system, but
existed in X-SAMPA. Specifically: voiced and voiceless lateral fricatives,
voiced palatal fricative, the curly-tail fricatives, velar approximant,
"turned a", and apical and laminal diacritics.
