Actually, it _is_ being modified. Most people
are not too aware of the table of 'weirdoes',
i.e. those characters which occur less frequently.
There is a version of this table, but it can be 
adapted as necessary. In none of the existing
transcriptions in the interlinear file, these
characters are actually used, so it's fair enough
that people tend not to take it into account
too much.
