This is really more appropriate for the other list, but...

>From Section 4.2: "[T]he use of a script subtag such as 'Arab' (Arabic script) does not mean that the content contains only Arabic characters. It does mean that the language involved is predominantly in the Arabic script."

IMO, it would be entirely appropriate to say that IPA phonetic transcription is always "in" the Latin script and to give 'fonipa' a Prefix field of *-Latn-*.
