No Esperantist is likly to forget, basic words like 'el and 'en', or 'mi and 'se'.
By the way, are 'l' and 'n' always 'el' and 'en' (in all other European languages).
English and French share the same letter names for these two. If some letter names happen to be already international, they could come into Esperanto under rule 15.
The issue is not just spelling over the phone. In today's world we use many acronyms.
Some of these might become more mellifluent with the use of common Esperanto (vowel+consonant/consonant+vowel), two letter words for spelling.
Which do you prefer - Do-en-a or Do-no-a for DNA?

sudanglo:In German they are also pronounced like this. In Spanish, as far as I remember, they add an e sound after these.

"m=mi, n=en" can be easily confused with "m=em, n=ni", although it is easy to remember that one is like in english and the other with "i" instead of "o". But it is difficult to remember which ones.
Often eo-learners confuse "kial" with "kiel", "kio" with "kiu" for that same reason.

But the vowel alternation in conjunction with the nasal-and-equivalent-consonant-from-the-next-set combination seems to prevent any ambiguities for the most part, if there are any at all, at least without having to be purely arbitrary.

Vowels, I don't know what to call them.

'em' isn't a word - only a root.
However I agree that the m/n distinction requires an arbitrary convention because we have both 'ni' amd 'mi' in Esperanto.
However given that you use 'el', that makes it easier to remember 'en'.
