In English, maybe not. In a lot of languages, they'll differ by a somewhat unpredictable factor that can be as high as three. The sane thing would be to just make the counts be in characters rather than bytes to begin with, of course -- it's hardly difficult. I imagine Chinese people are puzzled when RC reports +3 and there was only one character added. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
