Well, yours seems to work pretty well.

I have my own suggestion, though:

Letters:
â, b, t, þ, j, H, x, d, ð, r, z, s, ?, S, D, T, Z (or: Ð), ` (or: 3), G,
f, q, k, l, m, n, h, w/û, y/î.

Short vowel diacritics:
a, i, u.

Hamzas:
independent or on alif - '
for use in vowelless transliterations:
hamza on yaa - ï
hamza on waw - ü

Word-final and other weird things:
alif-in-the-form-of-yaa - à
taa marbuta - ä
dagger alif - á

I.E.: ismî mûsà.  'anâ Tâlib fî aljâmi`ä.  darastu al`arabiyyä fii háðihi
alsa`ä kull yawm.  lâ 'urîd 'an 'aðhab lilbaSrä.  al'îkûtûbiyûn majnûnîn.
 hal tafhamûn?  `âlam "'ill baþisad" yajî' hunâ 'ayDan.
