The uppercase of !xhosa is !Xhosa. Uppercase versions of phonetic symbols are a concern only if the phonetic symbols gain currency, which is not the case here.
True. Though it would be fun to draw some of them.
I believe, by the way, that ch�: is now written !Xung though whether or not the speakers are literate and make use of a practical orthography
A couple of errors were corrected in the version which is on my web site (including the title); that document has been sent to UTC and WG2. In the first sentence it suggests that ch�: is "Kxoe", but on further research this seems to be a different language. I think ch�: is what the Ethnologue calls Kung-Ekoka (in Namibia).
