Web surfers might begin seeing some very different Internet addresses
next year. The governing body that oversees Internet addresses has
given its approval to a plan to permit Web addresses in characters
other than the Latin alphabet, including Arabic, Chinese, Hindi and
Korean.
I'd be *really* surprised if these became popular. The last thing any
business wants to do is create a domain name that some of it's customers
can't read or type.
