Having different scripts is indeed possible, we have that for Serbian and for 
Uzbek.

But before we say yes, several questions:

Is there an actual standard? Wikipedia tells me there's like several somewhat 
disagreeing variants.

Is the translation possible to be made automatic or needs a human translator?

Someone would need to come up with an @script modifier and test if it works, 
for example for cyrillic we use @cyrillic, e.g. uz at cyrillic and things don't 
break, one would need to see if setting a glibc-locale like en at shavian would 
make everything explode or not.

Cheers,
