The "Supreme system" is intended to benefit the users of Chinese Domain Names because TC<->SC is of paramount importance to the Chinese culture. The "contributor" never had the intention of making the "Supreme system" a standard... but had simply tried to offer another perspective on this TC<->SC problem in the hopes of offering a solution to this sticky problem. It has obviously failed in that respect. That "old contibutor" is currently too busy (setting up the "Supreme system") to care whether you care or not. However that "old contributor" would like to thank you and the author of the TSCONV for pointing out the 2^n problem and thereby making the proper adjustments/modifications to the supreme system. Thanks, Ben
