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.
