Here's a wacky, and probably distasteful, but pragmatic suggestion: Use whatever name Microsoft used for Taiwan in Windows Server 2003. As a former employee I know Microsoft has an entire wing of the internalization superstructure devoted to hunting and killing politically sensitive terms, in PARTICULAR the Taiwan/China issue. They have a tool called PoliticsCheck or something which scans code blocks looking for sensitive terms. The reason I would suggesting just blindly imitating them is they have professionals who spent 40 hours a week all year long investigating this, and they are super DUPER scared of being sued, so you can bet they at least have an acceptable solution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
