Well, mzybe not so cool

[George Thompson]

Dear List,

I went to this google transliteration site and started to type in the 
first lines of the Rigveda, and immedately I ran into problems. How does 
one generate something like  Rtvijam?   And  how does one insert Vedic 
accent?

This thing seems no better than earlier transliteration programs as far 
as I can see.
