Okay, I think I have to care about the Spanish and German Translators (and other languages') I've thought that folks in Latin area could memorize the unicode escape sequence char numbers correspond to those "a few" (or several) extra characters. (So, the translators would not feel such a burdon relatively, I guessed ... Still I'm not sure.) However, we can not put into our poor brains all of the unicode escape sequence char numbers correspond to *over one million* extra characters. (So, we have to use "native2ascii" or whatever, when put them into apache.org server and retrieve them from cvs, I guessed) When we think about the issues of internationalization (localization) of codebase and docs etc., there might be two *BIG* hurdles. 1. English (en) vs. non-English Latins (de,it,fr,es ..) problem 2. Latins vs. non-Latins (ja,kr,tw,cn ..) problem These might be *invisible* but *inevitable*. Please take these into consideration, too. Also, I want to put this proposal (All DOCUMENTS TO UTF-8) to vote in a couple of days. Then, also I want Agustin to participate in this vote. Is it all right?
