I may have got it and forgot to reply - sorry!

I would. Can you file an enhancement request on my tracker?

Possibly - I'll look into upgrading.

I must admit - my knowledge is thin on the ground in this area. I don't 
think I handle character encoding right at all. Is this in your patch? 
Can you provide a patch against latest trunk code (or 0.30rc1 - not much 
has changed) ? Please create a ticket (see above) and attach the patch.

I'll take a look as soon as I get chance, but it's best to raise stuff 
like this by creating tickets, otherwise I forget!

Thanks,
