Why? Given that "conversion between the different unicode encodings are pretty cheap", why not have the LyX core use a single UCS4 encoding and require conversion only on input/output. Especially given the fact that the frontends will have to perform the conversion from UTF-8 to UCS-4 to their encoding of choice. That just seems like we're making work for ourselves. I just don't get the need/desire for more than one encoding in the kernel. Angus
