I can certainly add that as a request, but I'm -1 on it. There shouldn't
be two different spellings for the same identifier, plus transliteration
systems often depend on the natural language (e.g. ö is transliterated
as oe in German, but (I believe) just as o in the Skandinavian languages
that have that character).

Martin
