Thanks for explaining what I have read countless times on japanese language books or wikipedia. It's never too much to keep learning it again and again.

You said, and I quote:

How do you want me to fix my tags? Tags don't support furigana, as far as I know. Do you want me to write "Nippon" in the tags? I don't understand, this is getting confusing.

Also, furigana can be romanized in the same way that everything in japanese can, following the same processes (Hepburn, Nihon-shiki, Kunrei-shiki). So even if you want it to be "Nippon" I can totally romanize it "Nipon" and you can't do anything about it because both are correct. It's unrelated to pronounciation of the word.
