The issue is that certain orthographies, particularly when used in certain conventional ways, can create accessibility problems. This was discussed at some length on this list over the last few months - please read the short thread (or at least the first message) starting at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001AprJun/0513 for a recent discussion. As far as I know the issue was first raised in this group by Lisa Seeman in the thread starting at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001AprJun/0086 which is also worth a read.

You can write Serbo-Croat in Latin or Cyrillic characters; are you saying we have to notate that?
