Now, I'm sure many authors have used X'ian Pu, Xian Pu, etc ,many
times over. _Why_ exactly has _this_ use of the name inspired so much
debate?
I've gotten about ten replies to this thread in my mailbox, and as
fascinating as learning about what 'Shan Pu' means, I'd rather ask you
guys to let it drop.
The names all depend on the author, and as long as they don't
completly violate the actual translation (like X'ian Pu), then they're
fine. All in all, it works the same when it comes to the special moves.

It all depends on what the author has to say. I personally think
X'ian Pu looks a hell of a lot better in English than Shan Pu. And
pronounce it. Sounds better too.
Of course, that's just me.
