Well, I agree with Krankor about the importance of a uniform
transliteration as far as (especially machine) lookup goes.  For
parsing by eye, I think that that again is a matter of getting
used to, like reading italic type as opposed to roman.  And for
use in any sort of mundane environment the "Dr. Whom"
transliteration looks much more like a language and less like a
typographical hash.
