I imagine that you are referring to the ITRANS transliteration scheme
(http://www.aczoom.com/itrans/), though at least SCIM has other
phonetic methods. There is no reason that ITRANS cannot be implemented
in the Firefox IME. I agree with you that it probably should be, as
it is the de-facto standard.

I do not follow what you are proposing here. Firefox works on platforms
other than those running X, so that an extension cannot assume an
underlying X server. If you are running Firefox on a system with X,
why would you not run SCIM directly, instead of through this roundabout
method?
