It seems like proposing both a spelling reform and a script reform at the same time is doomed to failure. It's a fun experiment but if one is serious about proposing a pragmatic reform of English spelling, stick to the Latin alphabet and maybe add a few diacritics if you really need to. Can you imagine the insane amount of churn changing to a completely different script would create?
