Are you saying they used a cap-height glyph word-initially and an x-height glyph elsewhere?
I've got a book on phonetics with some Comanche and Shoshone data that has A, E, I, Ï and U word-medially; they would have used these word-initially if that's where the voiceless vowel came. Neither this nor a cap-height 0294 in phonetic data (in any word position) is a problem. If the general category of 0294 were changed from Ll to Lu, that Cherokee data would not be harmed in any way that I can see.
(Particularly if it's printed in a book. BTW, how can something that represented digitally be in a physical book? :-)
