The very first link provided by Google.com for "cxs" is Henrik's CXS page. If you need to distinguish interdental //t// from dental //t//, you might want to use /t_d_+/ and /t_d_-/ Of the USASCII character set, X-SAMPA (and AFAICT CXS) leaves the symbols # and $ undefined, and allows them to be defined on a language by language basis. The diacritics /_#/ and /_$/ (or even /#/ and /$/, after /_~/ and /~/) could be pressed into service as language-specific abbreviations for /_d_+/ and /_d_-/, to make typing and reading those sequences easier.
