What is the "modern convention"? There is no such thing. There is a
reform, but it by no means eliminates the "ß". Replacing the "ß" by "ss"
can actually be wrong by modern reformed rules, like in "Fuß".
I'd agree with others to _definitely_ keep the spelling of the original,
unless you have a very good orthography expert at hand. You can
definitely make things a lot worse by just eliminating the "ß", or not
following the rules. And even worse, the modern rules are, fortunately,
still under discussion, and several newspapers have actually gone back
to the old spelling for now.
Just to make this clear: "old" spelling in this context means the
spelling that was valid from just after 1900 (AFAIK) until 1996, not
anything relevant for Wagner.
