For IP, if useful.

So the facts are clear:  China (and not just China ...) has had
so-called alternate multilingual roots for some time - to the point
where _currently_ there are 70 million native character users, and
growing.  This is not something that is just happening.  It has been
underway for quite awhile.  The Western press environment, likely
influenced by ICANN and US Gov positions, has failed to bring it to
light (for us) - that does not change the reality.
