Looks great. As a minor issue, “a UNGEGN transliteration” is perhaps not 
an optimal example, as the abbreviation is less widely known than many 
names of transliteration schemes (like Hepburn and pinyin), but any 
example helps to clarify the point.

(I know that people who understand the technical content of the document 
probably have UNGEGN for breakfast, but it would be nice to have the 
_summary_ widely understandable to non-insiders, too, like executives, 
as it mostly is now.)
