Only slightly more seriously, I imagine it would be possible to examine the top-level domain and: (1) if .cn, .tw, .hk, .sg, .mo --> display URL with Chinese glyphs (2) if .jp --> display URL with Japanese glyphs (3) otherwise punt (browser's choice) IDNs are one place where *even I* would not suggest Plane 14 language tags for glyph selection. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California
