Well say I've tripped to germany and writing on a german keyboard.
How can I go to "özçelik.com"?
or say my fellow chinese friend gave me a url in chinese?
How can I type that in using my turkish (extended latin : CP1254 or
ISO-8859-9) alphabet?
This approach will result in duplicate DNS registries:
"özçelik.com" resolving to "ozcelik.com" etc.
Although I am not American, I can see that this is not ethnocentrism;
it is just using a global standard for naming URLs ubiqiutously.
Cheers,
