Would it make sense to capitalize consonants and use lower case for
vowels?

We have P for peh and K for kaph; what would we use for thaose letter
without the dagesh - are Ph and Kh sensible?

How about V for vav?

Finally, the use of @ for qamatz has the side effect in some mailers
(such as mine, Pegasus,) of having the entire word including it
interpreted as a clickable address, and therefore underlined and
rendered in a different color. If this is this case for a
significant number of listmembers, perhaps # might do instead?
