My Digital Communications lecturer Jon Crowcroft was talking about how lookup tables for the namespace of websites should be extended to a broader range of characters which was coincidentally covered by the bbc later that day!

This would only make sense as there are many parts of the world with very different alphabets that should have their own address space! However it prevents the consolidation of information over one language (so there is a distinct modulation of knowledge in different languages over the world which unfortunately Systran isn’t perfect at solving yet). But with help from our Natural Language Processing course – this problem may be solved soon enough!
