One question: If you care so much about making the text easier to read 
aloud, why are you removing all the mandatory glottal stops (i.e. the 
dots)? Without them, the narrator (performer) is likely to not pronounce 
them at least for certain cmevla, because you first have to see the 
entire word and make sure it ends in a consonant to know that you have 
the pronounce the glottal stop (or pause) before the word (and after it, 
but that's easier). I understand why you don't want to use dots to mark 
the glottal stops, but maybe you could use another symbol.
