Hi!

Is there any need to support tool settings with other encodings than utf-8 (and ascii as a subset of utf-8)?

AFAICS there's not even a need for utf-8: Most settings are not visible for users and those that are (like title and description of Actions and type infos) can contain an ascii i18n message id.

But supporting utf-8 would not cost us much extra and might help people who don't use translations.

For CMFSetup/GenericSetup this would mean:

All 'encoding' parameters, attributes and methods could be removed. The XML files are anyway utf-8 encoded, so there would not be any need to convert strings from one encoding to an other.

(At the moment a hardcoded ascii encoding is passed around everywhere.)


Cheers,

        Yuppie
