Not sure about changing the default - from what I can see, it would make processing slower for all those using latin languages. (however, I'm not good on judging slow - from my perspective, little is slow these days. I still recall waiting overnight just to compile my linux kernel, which was much much smaller back then. My thesis, written in Latex, use to take enough time to generate a postscript file I could go and make a coffee! Everything has gotten faster as I've gotten slower!)
