There are many ideas like this one that would solve the problem but are outside of the design of the system. Perhaps these kind of ideas should sent through wikitech-l first before everyone talks about them here. I know the attaching og differnet names was not technically possible in SUL back in October because I specifically asked after it was brought up at the talk page.
The same thing goes for the thread on automatic transliteration. This does not exist for all fonts. It is very much not possible as a global soulution, although it could be a recommendation where it is possible. What can we do with the existing situation, or else with an easy amount of deveploment? I don't see the point in arguing whether it acceptable or not to adopt a technically immpossible solution.

I came up with another idea, which would assume that SUL is in place... perhaps people could have multiple usernames linked to a single login for use on wikis with different scripts...
On my "Messedrocker" account, if I wanted to get involved on, for example, the Greek Wikipedia, I could set up another login linked to my account: Ìåóóåäñïcêåñ. On Greek Wikipedia, I would set that as my name to be identified as, so while I still would be able to log in as Messedrocker, I would be identified on the wiki through recent changes, Special:Contributions, user page, etc. as Ìåóóåäñïcêåñ. The Greek alternate handle would be automatically registered to prevent impersonation (and a slew of other technical problems).

This case needs referendum on English
Wikipedia,
There is no pratical way to do that.
(Public) referendum is possible: just make a
poll and then announce it
on Watclist, Sitenotice, Main Page and other
relevant pages.
So you agree it is imposible?
Adding notices about policy chnages to any of
those places is not
viewed as acceptable on en.
