Hi Harry - I think this thing is just a compromise because for the Chinese person how do they type ".com" using Latin script when (a) they do not know Latin script and (b) Latin script is missing from their Chinese keyboard.

I’m not sure this is internationalization or localisation, and the first challenge...how do you type .com in Chinese on your QWERTY keyboard?
