     @jabz nice article, but an important correction: Tim B-L is not the inventor of the internet: he invented the web. Big difference!

     @marjoleink: Thanks for pointing that out. That's what I mean by "early beta". :) Fixed.

     @jabz I also have an issue with 'no non-ASCII characters'; it should be: use your user's language! ...

     @jabz ...for half the world ASCII makes things infinitely harder, and URLs harder to remember and type: why we have international domains!

     @marjoleink: Everybody should be able to type a URI. Internationalized domains do not-work if you are unfamiliar with the character "hack".

     @jabz internationalized domains and URIs DO work for their audience. If you have a Farsi keyboard, a Farsi URL is easier to type than ASCII

     @jabz: great post, though I disagree with some points/priorities. should correct example which shows frag identifier (anchor) b4 querystring
