Looks pretty cool.

But who's going to want to narrow down their audience so much by having such a URL?
Should terrorists and Orientals be allowedto have custom internet addresses?

No.

Seen that before. Face it, a lot of people in the world never use latin characters, so it makes the net more navigable for them. If they wanted to cause trouble, there's nothing stopping them from doing it on the existing technology.

Well, I think we'll learn our lesson as soon as the terrorists have a web address that says "The west is full of fags" and none of us know what it says because it's in Arabic.

Really? The article implied, to me at least, that there wasn't the capability yet.

Come to think of it, do languages like Tangerine or whatever even make use of italics? Any language without italics is rubbish.

Besides the whole terrorists and stuff this doesn't sound like a bad idea. Plus, when I'm web surfing and the address has a ton of non english letters on it I'll know it's probably in a different language.
