It might not be that simple. Should it be "all languages" or "all scripts"? I'm thinking of Japanese where there could be as many as four different alphabets (scripts) used for representing one word. I'm also having flashbacks to the confusion between scripts and languages when ICANN was discussing IDN TLDs 2-3 years ago. ISTR there are differences between the Chinese characters used in Taiwan and those in the People's Republic. _______________________________________________ provreg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/provreg
