Re: Core Component Analysis - SWIFT's Comments

Thought I would chime in on this issue of non-English language support.
Attached is a small section of the CoreTalk technology that directly
addresses this tag name issue. Some of our terminology will be "foreign,"
but the general approach defines a clear architectural solution. Hopes this
information provides some insight and value to the discussion.

Note: The Manifest, Block, Node, tuple, and symbol names in the diagram
would be replaced with domain names in a given set of languages and
dialects.
