I especially like the rather bold letter assignments.
You could even get rid of those digraphs with the following
assignments:

/B/     b
/J/     ñ
/j/     j
/j\/    h
/L/     y
/l_d/   d
/R\/    v
/r_j/   x
/L\/    l

Or if you wan't to be just a tad more user-friendly
(or you dislike _ñ_! :-), the above but:

/B/     v
/J/     ny/yn
/L/     ly/yl
/r_j/   ry/yr
/R\/	x

NB in this assignment _y_ would be used only to mark
palatalization.  In my own conlang Sohlob [sQ'KQb_0]
I use _tj, dj, sj_ as ASCII-friendly alternatives to
_c, j, ç_ (I guess you can guess for what kind of
sounds! :-), while somewhat out of line I use _ny_
for /J/, because _nj_ would else be too ambiguous
between the ASCII and Latin-1 systems -- and I kept
reading _ñ_ as [N] due to Tolkien's usage!

Admittedly I am not wild about digraphs at all, except _j/y_
to mark palatalization, _w/v_ to mark labialization or
velarization and _h_ to mark aspiration or voicelessness.
In particular I dislike the random +h to mark just about any
modificayion -- and I'm well aware that is not what you are
doing; I guess I just connect hr/rh and hl/lh too strong
with [r_0] and [K].  You become that way when you are an
Islando- and Sindaphile!


> I'm quite slow at uploading from brain to paper to binary,
Who isn't -- well I guess some aren't, but I'm definitely
*very* slow with the paper to binary phase, perhaps due to
problems with deciphering the results of the brain to paper
phase, but more due to the fact that formatting tends to
take a lot more time than content in binarization...

Trust me, being a pariah conlanger in a villa by the sea
wasn't that great either: "What's he doing?" -- "He's making
letters again!"  I wasn't totally isolated, but I was twelve
and took no interst whatsoever in sports...
Luckily polyglottism as such was considered normal in my
family, so linguistic interests _per se_ weren't frown'd at.
