Surely the ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) character set supports most accents in
Latin languages, so there should be no need to use Unicode escapes for
these?
Looks to me like the problem with the Spanish version is due to a
packaging error in the tomcat-I18n-es.jar file, which contains
corrupted copies of the original files.
Using Unicode escapes should prevent this packing error from
recurring, but seems rather a drastic measure, as it makes the
properties files rather harder to read.

OK, point taken.

I would have expected it to work but it appears that it doesn't. It is
probably related to the users default platform encoding. I suspect the
issues are when a user is using something other than ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8
but I haven't done any testing to prove this.

The issue appears to be wider than that.

Preventing the packaging error is not my primary motivation with these
patches. My primary motivation is making sure these files work as
intended for all users.
In the rare cases where someone needs to work on these files and wants
to do it in native form it is trivial to use native2ascii to convert the
files to native form, edit them and then convert them back.
