Just 13% of the world speaks english. It is not a reference for how we do or should write on the web.
It would maybe make sense to restrict url display to the computers language setting.
- dnzkw 5y agoThat's good in theory. The reality is that punycode never took off anywhere in the world. Unless you're proposing we let it live in case someone somewhere ever uses it. Then, sure.
- tialaramex 5y agoHow does the popularity of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.%D1%80%D1%84 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.%D1%80%D1%84 square with your theory that it "never took off anywhere in the world" ? Of course that registry actually has a sane punycode policy, so such impersonations are impossible there, whereas they're happening all the time in .com. Maybe time to re-evaluate your idea of "reality" versus "theory".
