Can you please enumerate the mistakes in that article, or point to a
link that clears them up? He does have a disclaimer about the
elementary nature of the article:

"Before I get started, I should warn you that if you are one of those
rare people who knows about internationalization, you are going to
find my entire discussion a little bit oversimplified."

But I am interested in know what parts of it are mistaken/inaccurate.

Chris
