Might I suggest, then, that people who deliberately alter the names of
characters indicate this in their authors' notes so nobody corrects them
thinking it's a mistake? That's not hard to do. "In this story, the name
Shan Pu will be changed to 'Xian Pu' because I think the latter name
looks cooler. Similarly, Nodoka's name will be changed to 'Nodaka,' and
Ranma's will be changed to 'John.'" Etc. etc.

Actually, I'd like to see the characters used in Shampoo's name in
the manga.

Yeah, but then (to keep ASCII standards) we'd have to call her:
The Amazon Formerly Known as Shampoo.

And that would be a real pain to write... ^_^
