This is also what I've thought since this caucus has been started...  
not _all_ about, though, but let's say _also mainly_ about.

It seems to me that the really breaking news in this announcement is  
that it shows the general public - and any decision maker who seems  
afraid of the '(Internet) world chaos' alternate roots are supposed  
to cause  - that alternate roots do work when good coordination is in  
place and respected. And if this applies to multilingual roots, it  
also applies to any kind of alternate root  and DNS system.

So, the remaining question is not: "is there a need to coordinate the  
different language based roots?", but rather: "there is a need to  
coordinate the different whatever- (certainly not only language-)  
based roots!", i.e., since I'm pleased to go on with Wolfgang's  
metaphor, to do what Mr Marx has done to Mr Hegel's dialectics:  
putting it back on its feet:)

Best,
Meryem
PS. Milton: no 'infocommunism' in there:))
