my name is misspelled here so please don't take it as a correct example.

Yes, sorry about that; as I mentioned privately, I got the wrong spelling bymistakenly lifting it from a web page about someone else who I thought was youbut who spells their name with different accents.

Now one more issue: do I assume correctly that this idea is limited only to
Latin alphabets?

Yes, the glibc source code is in English so its text should use spellingpreferred for an English-language audience. Although the audience can't groknames written in Cyrillic, Greek, Kanji, etc., it can grok Latin letters withaccents.
