While I appreciate change and improvements, I just wonder if this is really a good idea. Websites are language specific but URLs were forced to a limited character set. This was making it at least easy for everybody to type it. No matter if the website is chinese, japanese, arabic, etc. (Sort of least common denominator)
Am I the only one who thinks this?
EDIT: Spelling
- inerte 16y agoWell, if the standard url naming was chinese characters (ie: what everybody is typing), do you think it would be easy for you? I think you would like to type/access urls in your own language.
- Bjoern 16y agoInteresting thought. I suppose if computers were originating from China that would probably be the case. I doubt though that if they wanted to sell it to some other countries, the buyers, e.g. US, Europe consumers etc. would accept that increased complexity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca
