Rationale for Phonetic Thai

These character codes are designed for use by an Englishman. The design principles were:

Short vowels are lower case; long vowels are upper case.
Where two Thai letters lay claim to a Latin letter, the commoner letter gets lower case.
If the sound does not suggest a code, the appearance does. The resemblance is sometimes forced.
The escape code is a percentage sign. This is used for extra letters.
%e switches to Roman alphabet, %f to phonetic Thai, %K to Kedmanee and %U to Kedmanee on a UK keyboard.

Known Bugs on Firefox

After inputting a Thai character, the first character of the text will always be at the top left of the text input box. The input position in the text is correct, but the input point in long or wide text will not remain visble.
