These tools are broken when dealing with multibyte characters.

And this format is also easy to break without noticing the breakage. > Everything but XML. *EVERYTHING*. This is your opinion. I disagree. XML is nice for things like validation and complex operations. XML is easy (easier) to edit if you use the "right" tools. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
