Hoi, At issue is that some insist on a solution where transliteration is forced upon others or the same is true with reducing people to numbers, you just have to be reduced to a number because of convenience sake. There is another solution that is rejected by some because "it can be gamed", this is without any knowledge of how it will be implemented. Thanks, GerardM

As I mentioned, transliteration doesn't work because some languages
require *transcription* and/or *translation*. For example, even your name may be compltetely transliterated in Serbian (Јамес), it is completely irregular and your name *has to be* trancribed (into Џејмс).
If an individual prefers to use the transliteraed form for his own name that should be his choice without any "has to be" about it.
