But there lies greatness in the unification of all locales into just one. All the need for encodings in HTTP that more often than not were incorrectly declared making browsers guess. Text files that looked like gibberish because they came from DOS or were written in another language that you even happen to speak, but now cannot decypher the byte mess. Or do you remember the mess that happened to file names with accented characters if they were sufficiently often copied between file systems? I'm all for performance, but different encodings on each computing platform and language just didn't work in the globalized world. You are a relic :) -- Marco
