Spending some time with XML-RPC, I found that it was not possible to send a string containing euro symbol (I got an XmlRpcException). While browsing CVS and reading the newsgroups, it seems that it is/was caused by it was caused by XML-RPC spec itself which was not clear enough.
Tell me if I am wrong, my understanding is that it was not clear if the string could contain special characters due to a mention to "ASCII strings". Now it seems that this point has been (1).
I think that this commit should be reverted so that we could encode special characters (like euro symbol) again in strings :
