AFAICT, there are:

   - 2 new font encodings needed (T3 and T3S), with associated
     named characters
   - a set of font definitions
   - unicode tables (for utf input) need extension
   - there are some macros in IPA for special input

That's about it for the basic TIPA font support, I guess.

For proper linguistic work, you need a large set of extra macros,
but those are not in the LaTeX tipa.sty either.

Greetings, Taco
