I don't think the target audience for the transliteration "Khodorkovsky" 
are Russians. It's very like an English transliteration, so the argumemt 
is mute.

I don't know how GOST transliterates his name. But you said, you didn't 
like their system. So I cannot help you much. I fear you're tring to 
invent your own system, which onyl a few people will be able to read and 
pronounce correctly.

I suggest you make up your mind about the target audience: Russians, 
English readers or "Google".

Please make a small record of you saying this name (and Hogwarts) and 
send it to me by email. I cannot really believe that.
