[all] File encoding
What file encoding is expected in the SVN repository?
I've had some problems with the i18n sources,
since the existing files seemed to encode German
ü and Swedish åäö using ANSI
(Latin-1/ISO-8859-1/windows-1252) while my
patches, when committed by Daniel Florey, got
UTF-8 encoding (which led to failed tests). This
leads me to wonder, what encoding *should* be used?
Thanks in advance,
Mattias Jiderhamn

On the other hand, it seems the web pages present
themselves as being ISO-8859-1
><meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
>content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"></meta>
And on the the i18n examples, the Swedish
characters look weird, at least in my browsers,
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/i18n/examples.html
(On the other hand, in this file I explicitly
stated ISO-8859-1 but the characters were encoded as UTF-8).

I would ten thousand times vote for UTF-8 but I agree it is not yet the
default.
