 Subject: Neutral position

Dear Sirs,

I've watched open discussion on the Sea of Japan and your
reactions on the atlas site. I very appriciate your
cooperation.

However, I believe the current notation in the atlas site
is slightly far from the neutral position. Please read
my analysis below.

Champion: Sea of Japan
Challenger: East Sea

Goal of the champion: Keep the current situation
Goal of the challenger: Change the current situation

If you change Sea of Japan to "??? Sea" or "Sea of Japan
(East Sea)", you give the challenger an honor because you
change the situation; that's the aim of the challenger.
That is not neutral but on the challenger's side.

I believe that the neutral way is:
- to keep _only_ "Sea of Japan" in the atlas, and
- to maintain the link to the description page you made yesterday.

This way is neutral because the challenger's intention
(changing the situation) is asserted and the current
situation is kept.

Note that the champion dislikes such description page
---because South Korea's claim is just a false charge!
