Yes, some of us would. I guess that you're a moderate if you wouldn't;
you might just get your way completely, in that case -_^.

Then lets use the obvious cases without argument and
focus on the less than
obvious cases.
Much as we would do if we adopted an original language policy
and had trouble deciding which transliteration to use
or what really was the form used by the person
(or is the form used by the residents, in the case of places).
We'd use the obvious cases without argument
and focus on figuring out the less obvious cases.
