On the other hand, I'm not sure how often users of non-latin languages will want to mix in latin letters. The tech report suggested that it is fairly common to use all of (Hiragana | Katakana | Han | Latin) in Japanese text, but I'm not sure whether it would be normal to mix them within a single identifier.

Mixing Kanji (Han script) & Hiragana in a single Japanese word is certainly quite common (main part of the word in kanji, the ending in hiragana). I can't think of any cases where the other two would be mixed (with each other or with either of the first two scripts) within a single word, but my Japanese is pretty poor - there could easily be cases I'm not aware of.

Cheers, Nick.
