Really, how much of an inconvenience is it that we don't use UTF-8 as |
| 37 |
a default? |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
In my mind, it is sufficient that we instruct users how to set the |
| 40 |
locale in the handbook. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
No user will be happy with whatever we decide to use as a default. I |
| 43 |
will be especially upset if we use the metric system instead of the |
| 44 |
*STANDARD* system. It has 'standard' in the name for a reason people. |
