r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/ilreq:

== Inherent vowel sound or transcription?  ==
[i did a quick review of the document. This is the first of a number 
of issues i'm raising as a result.]

1.2 Indian language complexities

> They are all abugidas in which most symbols stand for a consonant 
plus an inherent vowel (usually the sound /a/).

The /.../ indicates a phonemic representation, which in this case i 
believe is actually /ə/, whereas the 'a' is a common transliteration 
form.  I suspect that either the a should be changed to ə, or the 
slashes should be replaced with quotes.
