> Searching thru the LCF code, i found several uses of the following that
> appear to be potentially dangerous:
> * getBytes() with no encoding: this is dangerous as the encoding is
> completely unspecified. In most places this should likely mean "UTF-8"
> * getBytes("utf-8"): this is mostly a nitpick, but this alias is not
> guaranteed to exist (see Charset docs). I suggest changing these all to
> "UTF-8"
>
> * String.toLowerCase()/String.toUpperCase() with no specified Locale, where
> it appears the text is not used solely for display, but instead for 'caseless
> matching'. I suggest changing these to use either the root Locale: new
> Locale("") or even easier, Locale.ENGLISH. This way ACF does not have
> surprising behavior on say a Turkish computer.
> I can contribute a patch to address these.
