Hi Pádraig,

Was looking at stuff to do post release, and saw that your page listed
'comm' as needing i18n work [1].

As far as I can see there are no issues with it. Here is a simple test
case to demonstrate:

     $ echo 'é' > file1; echo 'f' > file2;
     $ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 comm file1 file2
     é
        f
     $ LC_ALL=C comm file1 file2
        f
     é

It looks like it has been correct for a long time as well [2].

The --output-delimiter option just takes whatever bytes it is given, so
nothing needs to be done there either.

It looks like it could use some tests for this, though. I'll have a look
at adding some tomorrow.

I've removed it from the page.

thanks,
