As far as I understand pretty much nothing has been done to the RTL regarding text encodings, so I wouldn't expect too much. > 3 - If question 1 is true, what are the recommended way to do that? Another good question. I would guess it must be called as soon as possible in your application and can't change afterwards. But that's just a guess. > 4 - What should we do when we find flaws in the documentation? Should we > report to Michael Van Caneyt here on the list? I would suggest to always report any issues on Mantis. That way they are not lost or forgotten. Also, I believe Documentation bugs reported in Mantis are automatically assigned to Michael.
