Hello everybody,
Here is a somewhat clumsy proposition.
<sec id="filenames">
<heading>File names</heading>
<p>
The name of the files installed by binary packages in the system PATH
(namely <tt>/bin</tt>, <tt>/sbin</tt>, <tt>/usr/bin</tt>,
<tt>/usr/sbin</tt> and <tt>/usr/games/</tt>) must be encoded in
ASCII.
</p>
<p>
The name of the files and directories installed by binary packages
outside the system PATH must be encoded in UTF-8 and should be
restricted to ASCII when they can be represented in that character
set.
</p>
</sec>
What do you think ?
