The reason for having Webster's in there was so that non-technical people could readily relate their individual dictionary requirements to a standard dictionary pronunciation notation -- given that PrEditor is intended for personalised (per Individual or Application) extensions/substitutions for what the main dictionary & letter-to-sound rules deliver.

I can see why you'd like to have SAMPA-X in there, but why eliminate the Webster's notation.

Best.
