I feel it's the other way. It allows the internet to truly be global.
There's no reason why names should be English only. If my site is targeting
Taiwanese or Japanese users only, why should my domain name have to be in
English? Users whose native language is NOT english would love to be able
to type in the domain in their native language. Names in your own language
are much easier to remember. It makes perfect sense.
And there is no reason why a site cannot have more than one domain name
pointing to their site, so multi-lingual sites can have both an english
domain name and a non-english one. More sales opportunities to resellers,
too... ;-)
(English users trying to access a non-english domain name can still do so,
but the string of codes won't be easy to remember - it will sort of be just
like non-english speaking people trying to remember current english domain
names! But the point is that you can still type them in with a regular
keyboard.)
