We will have to go back to a numeric system.

It is fundamentally a numeric system. There are databases (Domain Name Servers) that translate alphabetic addresses into numeric addresses. They will just expand the types of characters that can be translated into numbers.

Right, I know all that

Think about it.

When English is NOT the major notation language, what happens?

The numbers work, the text that you may want to use might work, or might not. Depends on what part of the web you might be using it.

Babel revisited?

Not even considering the security ramifications.This is not a welcome move, IMHO.

Its a way to chop the WWW up.
