I can't remember the outcome either, but when this was discussed on the
list earlier I had posted a url reference to a character coding
discussion from the DocBook SGML folks. I vaguely recall that (for their
typesetting purposes) UNICODE didn't solve all problems.
I also vaguely recall that the most common extended-byte encoding
sequence is that used in Japan (EUC-jp?).
Are we ready to gear up for another discussion on this topic? If so,
someone should go through the archives and summarize the previous
discussions so we don't re-invent the wheel...
