As I understand it, the Unicode project pursues the aim of letting people use their distinct languages, with those languages’ distinct scripts, to name shared concepts, e.g. "Belgium" = "Bɛ́lɛzika" = "比利时" = "बेल्जियम" = "벨기에". That goal seems to me applicable to the names of persons, and the names of Web locations. Does Jean-Guilhem Rouel’s proposal pursue the opposite goal, of expecting all users to learn a single representation?
