For example, spell the word "right" in your phonetic system. Will you use the Louisiana raht, the Cockney roi', or some other?
This proposed reform would mean some sort of eradication of regional/class accents I am guessing.
Our present "system" is at least standardized, so we can all read the same books yet sound different when we read them aloud.

I am not sure of this myself. English pronunciation varies much more than some people are aware.
My company hosted a few days of presentations and meetings recently. An Australian guy was chosen (I don't know who picked him) to announce each speaker. I sat in on some of the organizational meetings leading up to the event; there was serious talk of choosing a new announcer, because the organizers were worried that attendees would have trouble understanding this Australian's accent.
He did end up speaking as planned, and it went fine, there was no problem understanding. But I could understand the concern, to an extent. Some Australian accents are very difficult for us (Americans) to understand.
