Hi All,

I've lost my home ADSL (won't line sync, tried two modems, tried different
leads, doesn't seem to be my end) so I'm mostly offline.  As a result I'm
unlikely to get onto this issue in the short term.  With Christmas
approaching I'm bracing myself for a long'ish outage.

If anybody wishes to take a look, the hacked character encoding class is
named ProductionDbCharset and has two related classes named
ProductionDbDataEncoder and ProductionDbDataDecoder.

The classes are instantiated within BaseXmlWriter which is extended by the
XmlWriter class for writing osm files and XmlChangeWriter for osc files.
The hack works by just passing the doubly encoded data through the osmosis
pipeline then fixing it before writing to xml.

Not sure how easy it will be to fix without access to a doubly encoded
database though.
