Re: [JDEV] charsets (was: Protocol extension?)

Reguarding the whole charset discussion... this is an issue that I haven't
dealt with yet simply becuase I've had no experience with other character
sets.

I do know that XML is very closely related to unicode, but I'm not too
familiar with unicode.  Would it be suggested to simply standardize on one
charset, be that unicode or one of the ISO* charsets?  I'm open to
suggestions, but want to keep the client restrictions to a minimum(such as
they aren't forced to understand multiple character sets).
