Johan,

...a note; I just 'plonked' Exhibit into an LAMP-server and ran the
JSON-file with (President) Håkan Röde of Håkanstenen, buried at Hovgården,
Adelsö, Mälaren. Not a very successful attempt -- especially with 'Adelsö'
and 'Mälaren' processed as list-facets.

>>then.
>Um, I think we may have lost one another now. I tried to say there should
be no known i18n issues with >neither 1.0 nor 2.0, but that 1.0 had working
localization too, as an added bonus. 

-> Oh, I'm just jesting; 'onji' and 'moji' are the phonetic- and
character-symbolsets of japanese -- two of those, (2) that is, in the same
language.

--> Do take a look at http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html. I
especially like the part about "What do web browsers do if they don't find
any Content-Type, either in the http headers or the meta tag?". Also take a
look at the idea of Machine Translation Controlled Language Translation
Standards at http://www.muegge.cc/, to understand what I'm aiming at
regarding the JSON-files.

-> Yep, that's what I'm talking about; Ascii compatible encoding (Ace -- a
misnomer at best). In theory, turning the above adress into
www.xn--rksmrgs-5waolo.se in Exhibit. In reality and a default MSIE7, a
non-clickable link, when using links in 'Exhibit Details'. Likewise In MF2,
entering limbo-land at, say, http://www.h agen-dazs.se/.

--> I prefer the http://www.häagen-dazs.com/ or the tastier
http://www.häagen-dazs.se, as examples.

>As mentioned, we'd be able to help you debug your issues if you gave an
example URL to the exhibit you >are having problems with (or one exhibiting
the same issues, if the data is private).

-> I'll 'whip-something-together', in time, and we'll see. Keeping it
simple, it probably turns out as 'H? R? of H?stenen, buried at Hovg[][][],
Adels[], M?' -- read as 'Håkan Röde of Håkanstenen, buried at Hovgården,
Adelsö, Mälaren' by 'non ASCII'-folks. Non-clickable, of course.
