Isn't this opinion (SHOULD be limited, regardless of its benefits or lack thereof) rather than fact? PubliusFL 14:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Article edited, neutral-flag removed. In future try not to use neutral flag for such a minor NPOV matter, just edit the article. FieryPhoenix 7:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese name

Is the Chinese name simply "swallow's nest" or can it have "soup" (tang) in the name? Badagnani 05:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
