IMO, this is really not about taking sides, and I think it's not about bowdlerization either. It's about providing a list of countries (technically speaking, localities on the country level that officially have distinct names) for the user to choose his own one. It helps neither the Chinese nor the Taiwanese in any way we should care about to call Taiwan "Taiwan, Province of China" in that list, it just makes the name longer and bulkier. It's not as if human users needed an accurate transcription of the ISO country names list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
