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.

That would be quite impressive, since the last time I checked, those were
no part of the ASCII character set...
