[Foundation-l] Shorter Url for non-latin languages

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Even better then URL shorteners is the presentation of the URL in Unicode.
This will make the URL readable, memorable and guessable. It may be that
this has everything to do with the browser that is used.. It is certainly a
good reason to select one browser over an other.

http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0shows
properly in my browser, it gets spoiled when I past it in my mail..
Thanks,
      GerardM
