These services are for passports only, not for general linguistic usages. The linguistic rules of transcription/transliteration are described in

Do you have authoritative references that it is incorrect to use the passport rules for the "general linguistic usages"? For example, the article about
Mikhail Gorbachev never mentioned the "Gorbachyov" spelling (ok, only in one external link, but it is fixed now in
http://www.gorby.ru/en/gorbacheva/biography/)
There is difference between more widespread and more correct transcription/transliteration. For WP more widespread record is more important than more correct one. So we have Gorbachev in WP. So Roman Seleznev is more widespread record, and Roman Seleznyov is more correct one.
Romanization of Russian is enough complex topic, but those Russians (;-)) have made it even harder for ё cases (ё letter was optional in writing and was mixed with e letter in many cases, but e и ё are different letters and vowels).
MVD/FMD orders and specific GOSTs are limited to passports systems, the general/nonspecific GOSTs (GOST 7.79 for example) are superior.
