-1 No, I think you should keep them.  Whether Greek versus Roman characters
look the same depends on the presentation layer, i.e. what fonts are used
to render the final result. The same thing applies to other homoglyph
characters in other language, e.g. Latin and Cryllic. It is often of
interest to use different font sets for different languages appearing in
the same document. TeX should not be considered as a de facto standard.
