Obviously this question has always been ignored everywhere, even on this
list.
The RACE encoding (or whatever it is called) is something new, as far as I
know. Browsers do not use it. Probably there will be plugins, new versions,
patches, etc. available if this multilingual stuff comes in, but we are
still fighting with people having pre-4 versions of IE and Netscape... you
know what I am talking about
I am afraid it will take at least a year - after this new system will be
introduced - until we will be able to count on people having multilingual
browsers. Or even more.
