It's not as bad as that, fortunately. They are talking about transliteration conventions. Beta code is not an encoding in the ordinary sense, but a mapping from ancient Greek to the ASCII repertoire (not necessarily the ASCII encoding). For example, "Zeus" is in beta code "*ZEUS", where "*" represents the capitalization of the next letter.
