[JDEV] Character Encodings and Languages thread

[Thomas D. Charron]

  DARNED good question about AIM..  Does TOC support multiple charset's?

  As for your idea on each tag being a seperate document, it's an idea worth considering, but IMHO not very nice..  Perhaps a better idea would be to modify expat to look for the encoding attributes and modify it's behavior accordingly..
