			'''EDIT''': Please discuss this in the Rental Magica [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=1895&p=86615#p86615 thread].

	So I was wondering what exactly should be the standard for this? I personally am not a fan of italicizing them, because it makes it seem as though they should be emphasized. It also seems to break the flow of the sentence, at least for me when I'm reading through it. Also, how are you going to deal with it if someone starts using a honorific sarcastically? I do however agree with italicizing of Japanese terms that appear only once for which there is no English translation. Recurring Japanese terms I think can be italicized the first time and in future times they can be left as normal. What are others' thoughts on this?

			On an unrelated topic, what are other people's thoughts on references vs mouse-over text? My stand is that short translations of Japanese terms with no ready English translation that I stated above as well as phrases with double-readings (eg an English word with Japanese furigana or technical terms particular to this story that is better when left in Japanese but we want to provide readers with an English translation) should use mouse-over text, whereas others should use references.

			Is there no forum or something we could use to discuss things like this?
