I would support the point of view that show should output escapes when showing characters outside ASCII. This is sort of a "transport" format (together with read), therefore it must be a GCD for all possible input encodings. UTF-8 might be alternative, but it would require to be equally supported by all Haskell implementations. -- Dmitry M. Golubovsky South Lyon, MI
