Ok, there are some basic facts, that the request didn't provide. 1. Most of the articles on no: is on either bokmål or riksmål. 2. The debate started on nn:, and is probably an attempt to claim (or deny the other part use of the no; domain) 3. A split (practicaly a move) would give bokmål (the dominant language) a unfamiliar name. mvh. Lars Alvik
