Perhaps easy choice/switching would be useful. Not sure about changing
the default - from what I can see, it would make processing slower for
all those using latin languages. (however, I'm not good on judging slow
- from my perspective, little is slow these days. I still recall
waiting overnight just to compile my linux kernel, which was much much
smaller back then. My thesis, written in Latex, use to take
enough time to generate a postscript file I could go and make a coffee!
Everything has gotten faster as I've gotten slower!)
