That would seem to preclude the use of methods to augment the output
of the analyser (suffix based guessing, mapping the observed ambiguity
class to a superset and inserting those tags, etc.), which is where I
would imagine a phonetic decomposition fitting in. Perhaps the idea
description should reflect that.

In any case, the point is moot: Chen has said that you were right,
that he (she?) had mixed up ASR techniques.

quite a lot to do.
