On a side note, you the site considers visible speech as a

Wikipedia infobox and implied by its “HMA status” on the Berkeley SEI
page, but the text of the wikipedia page says “However, although
heavily promoted [...] in 1880, after a period of a dozen years or so
in which it was applied to the education of the deaf, Visible Speech
was found to be more cumbersome [...] compared to other methods,and
eventually faded from use.”
My (cursory) research failed to show a more recent date than this for
the system than this “dosen of year or so [past 1880]” . Is there any
indication of the system to be used later? (say, any date in the 20th
century)
I just got email a few days ago from someone who wants to use it on an
album cover...
But on the whole I think you are correct; I have not seen much use or
even study of it (outside of my own and a very few others) in recent
times. And I *still* have to submit a proposal for it to be included in
Unicode.
