How would phonetic values relate to the fact that Apertium 
part-of-speech taggers select one of the lexical forms the morphological 
analyser produces to a surface form? What does phonetics have to do when 
we are dealing with written language?

I remain unconvinced. Mixing phonetics of logographic languages with the 
problem of detecting hidden unknown words as explained in our ideas page 
is misleading and useless to solve this problem.
