Edmon:
            I will try to give some explaination althought my english is not
good. I can told to you straightly that if many Chinese people (including
Taiwan, HongKong & Mainland China)see your example and wishness, they will
be very angry to your description. Why ?
            In Twaiwan,  HongKong we use BIG5 code and many simplified
scripts can not be key-in and displayed in their system. Many people they
know traditional chinese characters but they don't know its corresponding
simplified characters.  Reversely, in mainland china people only know
simplified characters. The corresponding TC/SC has the same pronunciation
and meanning.  Todday people want to communicate each other, they regist a
domain name for some trade mark reasons , but the ML.COM system can not
provide the same chance to protect their rights. People in Taiwan regists a
TC name but he can not key-in to regist the corresponding SC name because he
even don't know how to do it . Then one day , some people in mainland china
they regist the corresponding SC name in SC.COM , it is the same meanning
and prouncing in TC.COM . What will be happen ?  You know that PRC and
Taiwan , even HongKong are different goverenment ,  the argument in
intellegent right is a big trouble.  The case is very like that you allow
one people to regist ABC.com and also allowed another people to regist
abc.com and told them  that is an option and chance . Are you like english
are treated in this way ? Why case folding is needed ? Only the history
reason ? Why full case alphabet must be mapped to ASCII ?
             Are you like to make trouble to us ?  That is why department of
China  information industry against chinese.COM so deeply.
             I don't care the mixing of TC/SC , but I care why we are forced
.....
