[Foundation-l] Automatic username transliteration for SUL

[Samuel Klein]

Bravo.  I'm all for this idea.  Although again, someone who registers 
under a transliterated ID and later joins TE and wants to have their real 
name as an alias / userpage should optimally be able to do so as well... 
without registering a second time and implementing a redirect.
