 From the coments of the ex-RealNames CEO at the cited reference:

" I truly hope that the Chief Architect - Bill Gates - and the CEO - 
Steve Ballmer - are aware of the narrowness of the vision - the defence 
of search and the URL [ASCII based naming] against a truly global and 
multi-lingual naming platform with built in directory services. "
