(Did you mean "overestimated"?)

Perhaps this is the source of some misunderstandings. The way you
presented things, you seemed to be addressing not the Lojban community
in general but the LLG in particular.

You can read about the LLG here:
<http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=The+Logical+Language+Group>

Speaking for myself, I don't think the LLG would have anything to say about
a phonetic alphabet. But if Lojbanists interested in phonetics want to design
a phonetic alphabet or adopt an already existing one for use in Lojban, I don't
see any problem with that.

The BPFK is commissioned by the LLG to handle some language design
issues. See: <http://www.lojban.org/tiki//tiki-index.php?page=baupla+fuzykamni>
