   Current occurrence counts are "Kiev":  135e+6
                                 "Kyiv":   48e+6
   so that the frequencies of the two spellings are
   indeed not far apart.

   The file theory.html suggests a switch in case of
       "long-time widespread use of the
        new city name instead of the old".
   I think that this is consistent with waiting for
   a majority for Kyiv. My spelling checker knows
   "Kiev" but not "Kyiv".
