yalu,
I found IAST a bit difficult to read, may be it takes some time to get used 
to. Besides it uses characters not present in normal keyboards so would not 
vouch for it. ITRANS should be easier for most of us to understand and 
adopt, perhaps there is something that translates devanagari to ITRANS too 
? 

anjesh,
i am waiting on your call on whether we are repeating the 
conversion/scrubbing process again with PCS mapping 
OR resume manually correcting the entries.

I have compiled required mappings PCS to unicode, somebody should be able 
to plug this into 2utf8 so that conversion is done correctly.
