For use in newspapers, for example, it is insufficient to give an exact equivalent of : is not acceptable for an untrained reader.

These issues are not so much connected with the transliteration itself but with historical inconsistencies of Arabic orthography itself, and the fact that users of a transliteration of Arabic expect more out of it than was present in the original text on one hand, and do not want to be bothered with details of Arabic phonology on the other. ...more on Wikipedia about "Arabic transliteration"
