It is a good convention, but it is confusing to apply it
to tHe languages wHere tHe traditional ortHograpHy is different.

Moreover, there is also another convention:
an upper-case letter denotes any phoneme of some group;
C = any consonant, V = any vowel, R = any resonant, so
H = any "laryngeal" (H1, H2 or H3).
