The page's author, D.J. Bernstein, is also critical of the new proposals and says that the only realistic way around it is to transcribe web addresses, on business cards for example, into their Unicode character codes. The result? A string of characters like this: U+0048 U+0065 U+006C U+006C U+006F. Horrific, eh? (This means "hello" by the way) I found another site which addresses the problem of asking users to type website addresses in multiple different writing scripts as opposed to just one: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/idn.html.
