Hi metze, on top of the first doc I see you state that all strings should be utf8. I hearteadly disagree, I woul d rather like to see all internal strings on new code to be UCS-2. Utf8 has many disadvantages: 1. require any RPC requests that comes from clients to be converted forth and back (UCS-2->UTF8->UCS-2) 2. Is difficult to manipulate UTF8 strings as they are variable lenght multibyte chars and sometimes uppercase chars have different lenght than lowercase chars.
