Arab nations are leading a "historic" charge to make the world wide web live up to its name.

Net regulator Icann has switched on a system that allows full web addresses that contain no Latin characters.

Thailand also wants a part of the action and the kicker is I can't read or write Thai.

Well, the sites would probably be in Thai anyway, so there's no loss there, huh?

I actually wonder why this hasn't been done before, it's not like it's some world changing event, as long as they don't force countries to use those characters, since many companies would likely want to ensure people from everywhere can get to their site without having to copy & paste non-latin characters or use some other indirect method.

I dunno. I always found best information for projects coming from translated versions of pages from those countries. This would be quite a hassle, but it's a nice idea.
