But that's not XSAMPA. It looks like an adaptation of Branner's use of ) to indicate IPA characters which look like ligatures (in Branner's transliteration, ae-ligature is /ae)/, OE-ligature is /OE)/, etc...). Since former versions of IPA had ligature characters for affricates (ts-ligature, etc...), this is OK, but it's not X-SAMPA.

Why not? ;)) But then you cannot say you're using SAMPA anymore. Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
