<div>I very strongly prefer <k> -> {q}, <q> -> {Q}. In my mind the {q} is a "k" sound, but the {Q} is some strange harsh sound which is appropriately represented by an unusual letter (like a capital in Okrandian transcription and a <q> in xifan hol). I much
prefer to type a <k> for the "k" sound and use the <q> to represent that strange sound. I understand what De'vID is saying about <q> -> {q} allowing one to type in either Okrandian or xifan hol without any confusion over letters and I suppose I could get
used to whatever, but I definitely have a strong preference (and habitualization) for the more traditional way of doing it.</div>
