Transliteration is incredibly inconsistent in English, even with the Romance languages that have been in contact with it for centuries. Semitic and a number of Asian languages are almost out of the question (I've come across at least three methods for Arabic, by the way).
I've been badgered into getting an MSN messenger account, for those who may be interested. Realize that I won't often be around to talk, though.
Umm... more edits coming at some point, though I may hold off until Kaisos is back so he can more readily answer my questions.
