Russia's president calls for Cyrillic Internet domain
My comment, as posted in linguaphiles:

I mean, I hate to be English-centric, but... The world is. Or at the very least, I think more people know the Roman alphabet than any other alphabet when you include people who learned other alphabets in studying a second language. And shouldn't the cart be following the horse, not the other way around? You don't promote Russian by forcing people to learn Cyrillic.

This from the girl who posts in Japanese, an even obscurer script, about half the time.

Yes, but you won't ever need to read it to be able to access something else.

I suppose it depends how they do it, but if it's accessible in either script, then I don't see a problem.

I agree with you there.
