Perhaps you are not be aware I am possibly a Chinese myself too and I
use Chinese in my daily live, both traditional (in Malaysia) and
simplified (Singapore).  And I work with many Chinese linguists in the
last 2 years and the many of them are not Chinese.

Thanks. Then we have no problem.

By default, TC or SC will be output depending which IME you use. Of
course, you *could* manually scroll down the list to get the characters
or you could toggle the input method to do so.

The user behavior education about domain names should be that domain
names are identifier, not names. They should enter into the computer
exactly as they seen it or reference it.

Anyhow, you are raising issues which have been debated in the list
before, one which the wg is quite well aware of. So unless you have a
TC/SC solution which you willing to contributed to the group, I consider
this discussion closed.

And if you do have a TC/SC solution, one which have not be considered by
the group and UTC and IRG, I would definately love to hear your idea.
