First of all I think this transliteration idea was a necessary evil some years
ago, but now all operating systems provide input methods that can be used
to input text in any script and/or language. BTW, your solution will make it
impossible to enter non-Greek text, unless one implements all these stupid
\textlatin, \textgreek commands. This will add unnecessary complexity to
a package that is already far too complex.  Not to mention that this is
feature no Greek speaking person will ever use. Thus, I would suggest
not to include this "facility" in the next release of polyglossia.
