Supun,

Thanks for the offer to help.  I have a fix working, now.  It handles UTF-8 
code for element and attribute values, but depends on the system locale for 
element and attribute names (it still uses isspace and isalpha).  It would 
probably be better to use iswspace and iswalpha, though I am not sure whether 
they are as portable to all systems AXIS2/C supports.  What do you think about 
that?

In any case, what should be the next step for my changes?  Would you like me to 
email a patch or attach it to the JIRA bug?  Do you prefer just regular diff -u 
patches?

My changes also include new unit tests for the UTF-8 transcoder.  I integrated 
them with the other Guththila unit tests that were a bit crufty, so I got them 
working, too.  I'll include that in the patch as well.
Thanks,
-David

We have not looked into this for some time, because both folks who were 
involved with this part of the code went on to pursue their studies.

It is time that we look for new volunteers to cover this.

It doesn't appear that Guththila supports UTF-8 even though 
guththila_get_encoding is hardcoded to return "UTF-8".  After googling for a 
bit, I am not clear on what the plans are for UTF-8 support.  Is it planned any 
time soon?  JIRA AXIS2C-1265 hasn't been updated in a while.  I'd appreciate 
any info on this.

Thanks,
