I found your patch includes fixes in *.svg files, so how about checking
also them by check-non-ascii? Also, I think it is better to use perl instead
of grep because non-GNU grep doesn't support hex escape sequences. I've attached
a updated patch for Makefile. The changes in release.sgml above is not applied
yet, though.
Yes, good idea on using Perl and checking svg files --- I have used your
Makefile rule.
Attached is an updated patch. I realized that the new rules apply to
all SGML files, not just the release notes, so I have created
README.non-ASCII and moved the description there.
I don't understand the point of this. Maybe it's okay to try to detect
certain "hidden" whitespace characters, like in the case that started
this thread. But I don't see the value in prohibiting all non-ASCII
characters, as is being proposed here.
