The OSM protocol specifies that it accepts UTF-8 data, but in reality it only accepts the subset of UTF-8 that the XML parser being used doesn't barf on, see:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2009-July/016165.html This issue surfaces e.g. here: http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/2072 So what subset should the API specify? If it's to accept full UTF-8 all the tools that parse the XML will have to learn to deal with control characters. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
