UTF-8 will be mandatory

[rejetto]

I met a problem, about the server being unable to know the charset used to pass FORM data.
I investigated, and found an interesting article by IBM (very techiey, don't dare to read!) stating that actually there's a flaw in the protocol.

in the (not so near) future, UTF-8 will be mandatory for templates.
let's say for HFS 2.4
so invite all of you who care about future compatibility to comply with this.

way ahead of you. But not for those reasons, I had issues with special characters etc. Any site I make these days is UTF-8.

EDIT:

I dared to read is it bad that I sort of understood what they were saying.

Why is it a big deal to get it working for 2.3?
