[Lingtyp] Why cite non-Latin-script literature ONLY in Latin script?

[Christian Lehmann]

This is just one example of a pretty large set of requirements imposed 
on authors by publishers which run against the interests of the readers 
of the work and, in the last resort, of the scientific discipline. To me 
it seems okay for any member of this list to articulate such a problem 
and to ask for support by the rest of the list. In some cases, 
discussion may show that the requirement is based on good reasons, so 
there is nothing to be done about it. In other cases, the result may be 
that a large majority of the discussants on this list shares the 
original reporter's critical view. In such a case, that person should 
have the right to say publicly that such and such was the majority 
opinion in a discussion of the LingTyp list.

In my view, the case Ian Joo has raised belongs in the latter category.
