> Searching thru the LCF code, i found several uses of the following that 
> appear to be potentially dangerous:
> * getBytes() with no encoding: this is dangerous as the encoding is 
> completely unspecified. In most places this should likely mean "UTF-8"
> * getBytes("utf-8"): this is mostly a nitpick, but this alias is not 
> guaranteed to exist (see Charset docs). I suggest changing these all to 
> "UTF-8"
>   
> * String.toLowerCase()/String.toUpperCase() with no specified Locale, where 
> it appears the text is not used solely for display, but instead for 'caseless 
> matching'. I suggest changing these to use either the root Locale: new 
> Locale("") or even easier, Locale.ENGLISH. This way ACF does not have 
> surprising behavior on say a Turkish computer.
> I can contribute a patch to address these.
