Does this mean I could post some untransliterated text here in a comment and make your browsers all do these computations?

- ks2048 3mo agoI could be wrong, but I don't think it's common for websites to just transliterate any text they're given. Let's check: ウィキペディア
- ars 3mo agoPerhaps I've misunderstood, but I think it's not the text that is unicode complete, it's the transliteration rules that are. Unless you install special rules you won't be doing extra computation.
- pwdisswordfishq 3mo agoNot even any built-in transliteration rules, but the transliteration rules engine. One has to load a custom ruleset to exploit it – and I presume no sane implementation is going to accept rules from untrusted input.
- omoikane 3mo agoI don't think most browsers enable transliteration out of the box. Lynx does[1], but it does that using iconv, which I think doesn't use UTS #35 transliteration rules.
