Good point. A long time ago we used to call Beijing as Peking, but
the journalists now will always pick up the pinyin version: Beijing. Since
we are after I, we are pretty much down to either Ichang or Ili. Should
either one be chosen, I think that we should document the pinyin version as
well. The difference of Y and I is due to historical difference, which we
are all familiar with. For example, there are more Wong than Wang, Chan
than Chen in HK.
