But why should that ease be achieved through the pain of separate domain
names, separate mailbox names, etc., rather than through the ISO 14755
keyboard interface?

Analogy: If you want people from Russia to be able to call you and send
you postal mail, which of the following options will you take?

   (1) Set up an office in Russia, and print a business card with that
       office's location.

   (2) Simply print an ``international style'' business card, with your
       country name below your postal address, and an extra line showing
       your country-code-plus-phone-number.

Yes, I realize that huge corporations will have offices in Russia. But
they aren't the typical users setting business-card conventions.
