> My opinion is that applications that will use this new parser SHOULD be
Unicode-aware. I think that internationalisation is a big issue and will
only
grow in importance. Application developers can't afford it any longer to
stick their head in the sand and pretend that only native English speakers
that only need unaccented letters from the latin alphabet will use the fruit
of their labour...
Yes, I think that is a worthy goal, but I think the highest goal is to have
everybody who creates an ABC app to use the parser. If someone decides that
they don't want to mess with Unicode, then they just might not use the
parser at all unless they can avoid unicode.
