Hi Arichichi,
The transcript designs are usually primariliy aimed at convenience of machine analysis; for a machine it's virtually all the same which glyphs represent vowels or consonants. Next, there is the chicken & egg problem: how does one detect vowels and consonants without first running some kind of machine analysis? But then how does one run a machine analysis without first designing a transcription alphabet?
