Update

UTF-8 is ISO 10646 just with a easy name. I am looking for the common
roadmap as some sections of the standards group are looking for the
"all or nothing" and others are working on the "seperate is better"
setup.

The merits of both.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unicode (ISO 10646) allows all languages to render under the same charset.

Seperate (ISO 8859-(1-18) allows a SGML(HTML, XHTML, XML and others) document
to declare its language or force the user to render to that language. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unicode would be easier but would eventually have an added element to
force the user agent(browser in our case) to use a particular language
for search or formating functions(right to left verses left to right
and such) to the writers request.

Anyone out there that remembers the SGML markup and has input, please
email me. I am coding for the seperate setup but am concerned about
the PDF output, future API setups for Quickbooks(OFX) and email
functions amongst other things.

Linus tells people to not over plan, just release, and I am trying. I
will do a release because I have been bothered about it a lot lately.
