Agree. Another point is that many firms print contact / support / sales

But this is an issue only in this are "cross contacts" to non local
partners. Local partners have the same charset coding so this would
not be a problem at all.

naturally: people who feel concerned about being reachable by anyone
abroad would create/buy/ask-their-admin-for a  ascii address, while
others would get locale encoded addresses for a local use. A kind of a
social consensus.

And the "default ASCII coding" may change to a "default chinese coding"
in some years ;-)
