It's not clear to me that portability would be universally expected or
practised.
Let's face it, this base is not widely used by average people. Mathematical
communities in a large number of script environments would use the Latin
letters, not the native script. In order to find out what exceptions exist,
it would make more sense to contact the mathematical communities directly.
The information that we were able to access when we wrote UTR#25 is that
use of characters outside Latin/Greek/Cyrillic is exceedingly uncommon in
peer-reviewed publications on international level.
Since then, we have become aware of some Arabic practices that differ, but
that's all.
