Seems like a summary is in order, so here.

The community at ro.wiki has decided in principle to migrate to the new
diacritics, per Unicode 3.0 (see OP). Several namespaces use the affected
characters (see comment 3).

And with that, allow me to introduce the vicious circle:
* We can't start by using the new diacritics in the Wiki pages, because that
would break all links to the respective namespaces, since they don't yet exist.
* We can't start by changing the names of the namespaces in TranslateWiki,
because that would break all links to the respective namespaces, since the ones
currently referenced in the Wiki pages would cease to exist.

Hence the need for namespace aliases. Now that you understand the problem, what
solution would you suggest?
