Note also that it mentions the Unicode character set, not a particular Unicode encoding scheme. To me that implies that an implementation must support all 7 encoding schemes, not just UTF-8. At which point you probably want to make use of iconv, so you might as well support all iconv-supported encodings. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
