But then if the U_Chinese3.gif, gets shortened to the last three characters, wanguo ma, as I suspect it would in practice, I'd favor it slightly over the three-character tongyi ma of U_Chinese2.gif. FWIW. To me, wanguo ma emphasizes the multilingual aspect, whereas tongyi ma emphasizes the unifying aspect, but it isn't fully apparent, from the name (tongyi ma) alone, what is being unified.
