The other major problem is, that since this point further the anchor links are no longer intuitive - we are now pushing people to constantly think about prepending x when creating anchor links. No more simple copy pasting of the headline. As a side effect we are now adding unnecessary work to people from non-latin wikis by pushing them to always switch to latin keyboard, or to click on edittools or whatever just to get the one "x" character in editbox to create the anchor link.
The anchors of non-latin headers are already (latin) gibberish: #.D0.A4.D0.B8.D0.BB.D1.8C.D0.BC.D0.BE.D0.B3.D1.80.D0.B0.D1.84.D0.B8.D1.8F
It doesn't seem reasonable to think that people could create anchors in their head from text, except in special cases.
