It would seem that this is one of the important cases that needs to be worked out. I wasn't suggesting that per-session locale (or whatever we want to call it) is _easy_ or, for that matter, even possible; just that it would solve a large number of the problems that people complain about. In fact, I suspect that what we really need is something a little more like "in-database locale" or something. > I think if you want some special treatment of text for some users, it > should be explicit. Yes. Also, not just text. Think of currency, numeric separators, &c.
