One of the things we've run into is that romanization (and in general, transliteration schemes and other big orthographic variations, like polytonic) tend to cut across countries instead of be within them. In retrospect, it's too bad that we didn't allow for both script plus orthographic variants in second position, since it would have worked better with fallback. Ah well, hindsight is 20:20....
