I like it.  I think we should just stick with the digraphs.  Using
uppercase letters in positions other than those we're used to only adds
to confusion.  We should just use all lowercase, and capitalize
following normal English rules, for convenience and ease of
understanding.  In other words, capitalize the first word of a sentance
and all proper nouns.  I especially agree with you ideas concerning the
vowels, and I second your dislike of diacritical marks through ASCII and
the limitations thereof.  Better to just use another method, and I like
the one you present here.
