Roomaji doesn't come with the added benefit of kanji to help easily discern words when you're reading a sentence.

I noticed that. Even when you use the same system to transliterate the characters, the spacing seems to be a free-for-all. I'd personally never put a space in 'konnichiwa' but others will. Never mind the homonym thing as you said. "ii kami desu ne!"
It may be good, but is it hair, a god or some paper? Who knows!
