Collation is not just a function of character set, it's quite locale-dependent. Not sure if the character class tables (<ctype.h> functions, and the [:foo:] posix regex classes) could be shared across UTF-8 locales. I rather suspect not. When you take out collation and possibly character classes, I'm not sure whether there's anything in the UTF-8 locales left to hardcode into libc. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
