Thanks Krishna.
I had made Beejnaagri not only keeping compression in mind but also a 
TTS. I believe it would be easy to design a TTS from scratch for a 
beejnaagri encoded text because it is `natural' and conforms to the 
phonetic nature of Indic scripts.
Please comment.

Also, I would include ZWNJ and ZWJ as part of Beejnaagri.

Best regards
Sandeep

I am not familiar with speech synthesis, although me and my friend did
play with voice samples, we did not find time to dig deeper. There are
different synthesis methods and may be in some of these methods this
particular representation helps. Frankly, I don't know. May be
Chaitanya Kamisetty will voice his opinion.

I will say this much. If Beejnaagri has no significant advantage over
standardized unicode text representation schemes, it is better to be
used as an internal representation (may be piping unicode text through
a beejnaagri module before sending to TTS).

Krishna Mohan.
