Is there a real need for regular encoding?
If proposed as kind of extension to Latin there will be one issue at least to be considered carefully: Unifon does not fit the Latin Writing system since it is unicameral, not bicameral (as far as I can see).
By which I doubtlessly not intend at all to encourage any of the enthusiasts to think they ought now go to their desks and try to invent new lowercase glyphs.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
