Sorry, I missed that --- and I can't check your homepages for it right
now, they both seem to be down. (I wanted to see if you think that
anything substantial is wrong with X-SAMPA).
But since everyone else who wants to tweak X-SAMPA seems to have
ignored it, it actually affirms my point: There's no real consensus on
an alternative version, so you won't have a version you can use
without including the list of differences from the standard each time.
And I think that's a waste of effort, especially for the reader (me)
who has to decipher another slightly different version with each
message.
