I'd love to see the IPA, but for people who don't know it, confusion could and would result. I do agree that the pronunciations given are in the main American English rather than British English, but there are plenty of Commonwealth Englishes as well. If not the IPA, then perhaps a bilingual or bi-English list, US and UK, would be helpful? Not for most non-English names, granted ... but at least it would indicate to the sceptics that John is not universally pronounced with an ah or an aw.
