That would be an excellent example, as it is testable. The experiment would be: A. Concatenate: 1. the unique-within-domain-part 2. the "@" character 3. the domain name B. Send a mail to the resulting address, requesting a reply. If you get a reply, the experiment is a success. If you don't, then ... hmmm ... choose someone who is willing to answer :-) Misha -----Original Message----- From: Kurosaka, Teruhiko [mailto:Teruhiko.Kurosaka@iona.com] Sent: 02 April 2003 18:07 To: Misha Wolf Cc: Www International; public-webont-comments@w3.org Subject: RE: "lastname" and "firstname" are not culturally neutral > In general, the string formed by concatenating: ... > The implication that the resulting string is useful is not > culturally neutral. I see. Thinking this further, I think any operation or interpretation of the personal names cannot be culturally neutral. Perhaps a better example to use would be something like the internet email address, composing of a name, "@" and a domain name ?
