Classical Arabic Transliteration (CAT) should be used when possible. There exists a transliteration scheme for Lebanese dialects, called "Alphaleb". More info about these on http://www.hiof.no/ludvigsen/webdoc/levant_servers.html#Language.

Entries should state where it is used. I guess the entry itself should be in CAT, but the comment should give more about pronunciation. Use IPASCII for this.
