I too decided to right him a mail and asked what he proposed on the homophone front. He hasn't answered yet [little surprise icon].
Wanting change is fair, but his reasons are not that great. Languages have truly become entrenched in a lot of administrative technicalities in the last century or so. People today certainly don't see language as the malleable tool that ye ol' writers did (e.g. Shakespeare).
The French and Germans still hope they have enough of a handle on their language to stifle change with legislation. I think most would agree, the task of written English reforms has grown over the heads of any given national or international governing bodies.
