Well, as I've said on #darcs: I'm not a UTF expert, but it seems to me that since we only use 'encode', and since apparently 'encode' only operates on [Char]s and the IO functions which could give us Chars are runtime are not supposed to ever give us bad Chars, error handling isn't an issue. But I'm not sure of this which is why I was hoping for input for other people before I did anything more than just clear cruft out of UTF8.lhs. -- gwern JFKSWC X Montenegro press-release conspiracy Pine Bellsouth CIO Gulf site
