Could you image if the default input-method in the kernel was only vertical/right-to-left chinese characters. Would you like to have an input method for ascii then, or would you think that it wouldnt matter? I dont know if it has to be in the kernel or not, but I know that I want to be able to read and input characters in my own language without running X. Currently about half of the worlds population are not able to do that. What about the possibility to have domain names in Unicode in the future? Wouldnt it be good then to be able to have Unicode-support in the linux console then so that one could read and edit those domain names?
