Web Addresses in Non-Latin Scripts

ICANN, the international body overseeing Internet web domains, has approved web addresses in non-Latin alphabets for the first time. An Arab News editorial here; Haaretz on the subject here.

Good. Most of the world writes in non-Latin scripts; it shows that the Internet Revolution really is spreading to everyone.

Happy Halloween.
