[edit] XHK and XIAST mixed up

XHK is eXtended Harvard-Kyoto, XIAST is eXtended IAST. Hence, XHK is the variant using an alteration of small and capital letters, while XIAST is the one using diacritical marks above and below characters. I've reversed them in the above tables. --Raga 15:19, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
