I don't understand your remark. Why would UTF-8 to ISO-8859-X be any more easy than ISO-8859-X to UTF-8? As nowadays most files in Debian (and in the wild?) are in UTF-8, the number of files to convert would be lower if the input is expected in UTF-8. > It's easier to recode the input text using iconv or another tool.

Sure, documentation is great, but I would also appreciate it when the majority of files would just work instead of the minority. However, I have no idea how to determine if I am right about the numbers of non-UTF-8 versus UTF-8. Paul
