The last is one of the reasons I am thinking of changing it.  I too
often cannot remember exactly which way certain positions of
articulation open or close.  I keep toying with it off and on but I do
want to keep the basic features so that all features are common.  I just
want to make it a little easier to memorize and to use.  Then someday,
to actually do a font for it, whether in Unicode or not remains to be
seen.
