   Hej August!   
      
    AA> So.. you're implying that utf8 should be baked into fidonet?   
      
   It already is.  Has been for over a decade now.   
      
    AA> A vast majority of retro systems and software would still be   
    AA> limited to the 7-bit chars and high-ascii,   
      
   Not a problem.  utf8, like most of the 8-bit codepages, has ascii built into   
   it.  Without that you'd have a very good case for rejecting it in any ftsc   
   document.  As is your argument has no teeth.   
      
    AA> so.. what's the urgency for utf8?   
      
   No urgency other than being first and best, which undoubtably I am ... or at   
   least I used to be.  I had it working before it became part of fts-5003.001.
