I just read through that, and it's a pretty unbalanced article. For
example, it doesn't point out that Unicode does a better job of handling
gaiji than any other character-set/encoding combination in common use in
Japan (i.e., one you can display in web browsers, word processors, hand
to people in a file with the expectation that they can read it without
specialist software, etc.).
