I want to open the discussion about localization in 
Tapestry.

I've gotten a steady trickle of feedback from beyond 
western europe where they are using Tapestry, and it 
isn't all good.

The stuff Tapestry does well, such as localizing assets 
and providing access to localized string properties, is 
perfectly ok.

The problem is that when you get beyond latin-1 charset, 
things aren't as good.  There's so much going on ... 
browsers, fonts, UTF-8, HTML, HTML entities ... it's 
hard to figure out what's going wrong.

I just tried an experiment, opening the response stream 
as "text/html; charset=UTF-8" and got mixed results 
(some characters in the french and italian render as 
boxes rather than characters).  I have no idea what I'd 
get if I was using a Chinese or Japanese character set.

So ... who out there has the expertise to identify whats 
right and what's wrong in Tapestry's localization?
