eleven new top-level domains in the DNS root zone. These represent the

some of the difficulties we face today in expressing scripts in a
consistent way over the Internet. The fact is, whilst we are at the
best time in history for having computers represent many different
languages clearly and consistently, we are still a long way from the
level of support needed to give us strong confidence that people can
always see what we intend them to see. </font></p>
