My intension was that: files with "&xxxx;" can be opened, closed, saved, inputed, and edited safely with any text editors in any locales (because it is ASCII string), while UTF-8 and locale-dependent encodings (such as ISO-8859-1 and EUC-JP) cannot always. Thus, "&xxxx;" in English wml files should be regarded as ASCII in this context (even if "xxxx" is Unicode codepoint) because it doesn't annoy translators for various languages. --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/
