important enough to bring up

and I'm glad you did, Larry.

Little Anton's rudeness shows exactly why the political questions arise, and why their rulings tend towards nonsequitor unless well-meaning and alert persons also participate.

When you say 'we got there first, and your view, rights, and capabilities don't count', then fractures begin.

Sure enough, URL/URIs ought to be able to contain anything, and IP addresses should continue to be able to have as many URL/URIs pointing to them as anyone wants.

Then there can be the Chinese language name for a Beiching newspaper site, and as well, a name that Americans or British can read.

Who knows, maybe the first language offered on the site would be keyed to the URL spelling you came in with - rather than /en or /cn pseudofolders.

A benefit, yes?

And if we had been second Charlie, if the Chinese had first invented the Internet, we would be crying for it, in every English-speaking group in the world.
